Quick
Capito the N.O. Capo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It heals so quick!

Oral fixation will make you twitch
I feel the swelling where I bit it yesterday
It heals so quick!
Superimposed and stuck on to your mouth
You perform the improv I prepare
And touch my lip with the flat of your nail

It heals so quick!

You want something cleaner
You pull at your skin
You don’t need her
You ask her to be something cheaper
And you feel the same you don’t need her
You need her

Body mechanics turn and grind
The last of the month’s dead wasps and sodden grass
Mouth full of cress and blood on my neck
From the drink drive crash into swim-two birds
And gag for a fight at the church on the hill
It heals so quick!

You want something cleaner
You pull at your skin
You don’t need her
You ask her to be something cheaper
And you feel the same you don’t need her
You need her

Superimposed and stuck on to your mouth
You perform the improv I prepare
And touch my lip with the flat of your nail
It heals so quick!

You want something cleaner
You pull at your skin
You don’t need her
You ask her to be something cheaper
And you feel the same you don’t need her
You need her

(You said let’s fuck on the alter
One small church on a wooded hill
Sodden wet grass damp leaves and red winter fruit
Superimposed and stuck on to your mouth
You perform the improv I prepare

And touch my lip with the flat of your nail
It heals so quick!)
