Ice Cream
The Kid Kapichi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ice cream trickles down your chin
I scream for another gin

I taste blood at the back of my throat
I see dots when I start to choke
But the ice cream keeps on trickling

I wanna know what′s going on inside your head
I'm on my way home
It seems as though
I′m testing your patience with every vibration of your phone

Cryptic, you're sick when you're sending a sing
Mystic, when you′re stopping time
Obscene, gold glitter with a sparkling eye
Handy with a pocket knife

Tight rope walking without the net
Eggshells breaking with every step
She knocked me back and she held me down like a cheap whiskey

Ice cream trickles down your chin
And I scream for another gin

I wanna know what′s going on inside your head
I'm on my way home
It seems as though
I′m testing your patience with every vibration of your phone

Cryptic, you're sick when you′re sending a sing
Mystic, when you're stopping time
Obscene, gold glitter with a sparkling eye
Handy with a pocket knife

Set sail with another fiasco
Don′t tap the can if it's fit to burst
Take aim when your arrows are plastic
Head for the bullseye taking first

And I wanna know what's going on inside your head
I′m on my way home
It seems as though
I′m testing your patience
I'm testing your patience, I know

Cryptic, you′re sick when you're sending a sing
Mystic, when you′re stopping time
Obscene, gold glitter with a sparkling eye
Handy with a pocket knife

Set sail with another fiasco
Don't tap the can if it′s fit to burst




Take aim when your arrows are plastic
Head for the bullseye taking first
