WOLF PARADE
"Cave-O-Sapien"
(Spencer Krug)

Cave-o-sapien
You were made for the breaking of my back
And cave-o-sapien
You were made for the breaking of my back
As I carried you past quiet houses
Kicking through the roses in the yard
I spied the wildflower kisses on your neck
I saw the garden had been trampled past repair
Oh, cave-o-sapien

And you look like the sunrise!
Purple, lemon, baby-blue and gold
But I knew it sounded bad when you said NO REGRETS
And then said nothing more
And while you're leaning deep into the smoke
Of those two sticks you keep rubbing together
I keep thinking about how bad it's gonna burn
And all the people I loved, back home
Who I loved, and love
That you turned on
People just offering shelter from the wind
So bow your head into the wind
My cave-o-sapien

I had a vision of a gorilla
And he was a killer, a killer!
Oh, cave-o-sapien
Oh, cave-o-sapien
Cave-o-, cave-o-sapien
Oh, cave-o-, cave-o-, cave-o-

Alone
In fields of stone
You're not the sunrise
You're just alone

But I've got you
Until you're gone
I've got you
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
I've got you
I've got you
Until you're gone
I've got you
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
I've got you

I've got you
Until you're gone
I've got you
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
I've got you
I've got you
Until you're gone
I've got you
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
I've got you
