Suicidal Salamanders

**[Intro]** Mm. There he goes. … Caught him. **[Verse 1]** Late night Porch light Something moving Top right Little feet On the wall Gets too close Then he falls I don’t know What they’re planning I just know How this ends One hand Drink down Other hand— Got him again. **[Chorus]** Suicidal salamanders Jumping off and then I catch ’em Launching at ya Detonation They fall off No hesitation Salamanders Salamanders Baby, watch your head. **[Verse 2]** Talking to somebody Mindin’ my business Something flies by There it is. No warning No sound Just— *plop* On the ground Pick him up Put him out Turn around Another one. Wow. **[Chorus]** Suicidal salamanders Jumping off and then I catch ’em Launching at ya Detonation They fall off No hesitation Salamanders Salamanders Baby, watch your head. **[Post-Chorus]** Put ’em outside They come back in Put ’em outside They do it again Put ’em outside They come back in I’m starting to think This shit is intentional. **[Verse 3]** Zero explanation Every damn night Running up the wall Like they’re looking for flight Right to the edge Oh, there he goes Obviously— … No. There’s no metaphor. **[Break]** Don’t do that. Don’t turn this into something deep. They’re salamanders. They jump. I catch ’em. That’s the song. **[Chorus]** Suicidal salamanders Jumping off and then I catch ’em Launching at ya Detonation They fall off No hesitation Salamanders Salamanders Baby, watch your head. **[Outro]** One on the wall. One by the door. One in my hand. … *thump* There’s another one on the floor. [Talking] Wait...hang on Oh...their geckos? We're not changing the song.
