Boy & Bear – Milk & Sticks lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born from a soldier's arms
But our spirit keeps a-moving on
And one metre at a time we'll fall
It's a bloody hill in a broken war

We've been singing like a lunatic
And knee-deep in our milk and sticks
Just a kid with a broken arm
It's a slingshot, a hail of harm

[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm hungry for that feeling, honey
'Cause it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake, my lover
It was so profound

[Refrain]
While we found
While we found

[Verse 2]
Torn like a beaten man
It's another dog in a foreign land
And keep on carrying a broken stone
And new tricks and a buried bone

We were born to be motivated
Cut off and cultivated
I promise you when the time does come
We'll be down-river with a loaded gun

[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm hungry for that feeling, honey
'Cause it's moving faster than the speed of sound
I left you a lizard by the lake, my lover
It was so profound

[Refrain]
While we found
While we found

[Refrain]
While we found
While we found

[Bridge 1]
Just like the rest
You'll be coming back, you'll be looking for paradise
For the silver line
That separates your body from your mind

What a mess we're in...

[Bridge 2]
There's a monster in my head
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no, you better get up, my friend...

There's a monster in my head
There's an animal screaming down upon my neck
Oh no, you better get up, my friend...

[Refrain]
While we found
While we found

[Outro]
Oh no, you better get up, my friend
Oh no, you better get up, my friend
Yeah
Oh, you know you better run, my friend
