lyrics

Rain is pouring down into the drainpipe
They smirk and jerk and lurk around down there
As if they really matter
Some bloated Mad Hatter
At the end of the day…

You see it
Did you dream it?
Like a thousand creepy spiders in your bed
You feel it
When they steal it
If you only had eight eyes in the back of your head

Snow is coming down upon the freeway
They drink and shrink and slink around out there
Pranks dark and evil
Some sad, wounded ego
At the end of the day…

You see it…

But it’s all in the Cosmos, my dear
You’ll get what’s coming to you right here
It’s all in your Cosmos, my dear
And you can hide behind your song
Deep down you knew it all along
Ugly is as ugly does, my dear
And like a two-faced jack-o’-lantern
Empty and void but still smiling
That shit-eating grin from ear to ear…

Hope you see it
And you dream it
Like a thousand creepy spiders in your bed
Hope you feel it
When they steal it
If you only had eight eyes in the back of your head
(If you only had eight eyes in the back of your...)
If you only had eight eyes in the back of your head
In the back of your head

tiny injuries
by Tamar Berk

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Back Of Your Head”

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting! tommcnally
