I Need a Carrot!

Lyrics

Verse 1
I’m eight hops deep in the line
My paws are shaking, teeth in time
Clockface crawling, tail gone stiff
One more minute and I’ll split

There’s a bucket at the counter there
One orange dream in the worker’s stare
I smell it once, I lose my head
I need that carrot or I’m dead

Pre-Chorus
Don’t say “next,” don’t say “wait”
I can’t hold still, I’m at the gate
My little heart’s a kicked-in drum
I’m seeing green, I’m coming undone

Chorus
I need a carrot
I need a carrot
I need it now, I need it now

I’m losing my cool
I’m losing my mind
One more rabbit at a time

I need a carrot
I need a carrot
(please, please, please)
I need a carrot now

Verse 2
The line keeps curling round the shed
A child with celery, a fox ahead
A tin cup rattles, someone sighs
I twitch so hard I cross my eyes

My whiskers burn, my ears stand tall
I hear that crunch like a battle call
If they pass me by one more time
I swear I’ll scream through heaven’s line

Pre-Chorus
Don’t say “calm,” don’t say “fine”
I can taste rage on the back of my tongue
My back legs buck, my nerves all snap
I’m one soft carrot from the final attack

Chorus
I need a carrot
I need a carrot
I need it now, I need it now

I’m losing my cool
I’m losing my mind
One more rabbit at a time

I need a carrot
I need a carrot
(please, please, please)
I need a carrot now

Bridge
Lose the floor
The world goes thin
The line goes long
My thoughts all bite
My body’s wrong

A fiddle cries
A stomp turns white
I see that orange
At the end of the night

Breakdown
CARROT
NOW

CARROT
NOW

I was made for the bite
I was made for the snap
Give me the root
Or I’m never coming back

Final Chorus
I need a carrot
I need a carrot
I need it now, I need it now

I’m losing my cool
I’m losing my mind
One more rabbit at a time

I need a carrot
I need a carrot
(come on, come on)
I need a carrot now

I need a carrot
I need a carrot
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
I need a carrot now
