Semi-Precious - Bobby Tank, Cass Lowe

Sure enough, sure enough

Your tummy’s buzzing like a wasp’s nest

And the hurt comes easy

Heavy cuts, heavy vision, the sun in your veins

The noble contract in your eyes

And breathe out, I’ve been watching you

And you never breathe out

You’re not semi rare, semi precious

Any less than the best of us

You’re not semi cool, semi precious

Until it gets too deep, too deep to swim

But you’re tangled in your heart strings

You’re tied up, tied up, tired of getting involved in this

With another man

A bit of yourself

So breathe out, and just remember to breathe out

Sure enough, sure enough

Each day is better than the last one

And love runs through you

Like a blood, like a cold, the sun in your veins

Just like you promised you could

And breathe out, I’ve been watching you

And you never breathe out

You’re not semi rare, semi precious

Any less than the best of us

You’re not semi cool, semi precious

Until it gets too deep, too deep to swim

But you’re tangled in your heart strings

You’re tied up, tied up, tired of getting involved in this

With another man

A bit of yourself

So breathe out, and just remember to breathe out

Semi gold, semi precious
