I serve fried pork parsley on the side apple cake waiting sweet little lie Blacksmith held me when I lost my ground now I wear his shadow when I walk around They washed him clean shaved him down made him proper for the town But I saw the silence underneath the skin you can clean a body you don’t clean what’s been I’m a meerkat standing tall I’m a meerkat I see it all I’m a meerkat I don’t stay small I’m a meerkat I don’t crawl They talk ethics soft and slow don’t know when to let you go Call it care call it right I see fear dressed up polite I’m a meerkat watch me rise I’m a meerkat sharp little eyes I’m a meerkat no disguise I’m a meerkat no more lies I don’t belong where I came from too much truth in my tongue wild grows better out of line don’t put fences on what’s mine They called me strange they called me wrong now I stand all day long I’m a meerkat in the sun I’m a meerkat on the run I’m a meerkat not the one to play dead for anyone I’m a meerkat I’m a meerkat yeah… I see you
