lyrics

Sticky on a one side, slick on another

Ripped to fucking shreds then spliced back together

With tape, ooh with tape

Rolling out from inside, hiding cracks and dividing lines

Adhering to the surface, pasting over imperfections

Like tape, ooh like tape

And there's a big, big hole like a hole in the ground

And where'e there's supposed to be a man, there's no man to be found

There's a big, big hole like a hole in his head

And if that's how it's gonna be, we'd be better of dead

Sticky on a one side but completely invisible

Forging into union that which was divisible

Tape, ooh yeah tape

Placed by many hands in the name of magic

Covering up layer upon layer of the tragic

Like tape, ooh like tape

Cause there's a big, big hole like a hole in the ground

And where'e there's supposed to be a man, there's no man to be found

There's a big, big hole like a hole in his head

And if that's how it's gonna be, we'd be better of dead

There's a big, big hole where the sky's falling down

But if noone's there to hear it, then it doesn't make a sound

There's a big, big wreck but they make a decree

And then they cover it up cause they don't want us to see

Stretch it, cut it, stick it, cover it up (x6)

Meeting a couple of guitar playing lesbians at karaoke led Tait to form the band Shitting Glitter with Amy Crosby and Von Edwards. After nearly a decade with the band, Tait decided it was time to branch out on his own. ... more
