lyrics

Zipper, you keep me together
You hold fast to each of my sides
Your teeth lock into one another
And pull though I might, there’s no left and no right

Zipper, could you call my mother?
Could you tell her that I’m doing fine?
My teeth cannot help but to chatter
I’m cold, but I am fine; I just need a little time

Well, I don’t know a thing about you;
What kind sorcery do you do?

I’ll keep you zipped up while you wriggle and struggle to break free
But you know me
I’m technology
You’re human and flawed; you must know that it’s me or it’s you, man
It’s the floor or the ceiling fan
And medically speaking, without me, you could not stand

Zipper, you know I’m not like that
You know I don’t do well in chains
Sometimes my light fades to deep black
But at least I feel it all; the heat, the sting, the pain

Zipper, I think I must bear this
Though it’s a difficult load
I owe it to my own perspective
To live, not to lose, the shades, the hues, the poles

You raise my floor unnaturally high
Lower my ceiling, squeezing me dry

Let me keep you zipped up while you wriggle and struggle to break free
Yes, you know me
I’m technology
You’re human and flawed; you must know that it’s me or it’s you, man
It’s the floor or the ceiling fan
And medically speaking, without me, you could not stand

Zipper, I think I’ll remove you
And go back to buttons instead
They’re looser and older, but they’ll do
I’ll sit on the dirt floor and build castles with thick iron doors

about

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
