  • (Save the mantaray!)

    Don't show me, I'm always wrond
    Off and on and off and on
    TV show don't bring me joy
    Teaching me how to destroy
    Paper walls are paper thin
    God, I really hate you, Tim
    Let that woman out your flat
    Don't stand in the way like that
    Sitting
    Waiting
    Thinking
    What is it you're looking for?
    Talking
    Barking
    Pushing
    What?

    When the words don't work anymore
    And you're talking to yourself on your knees on the floor
    What will you do, what will you do, what to do?

    Feed the mantaray, feed the mantaray
    Feed the mantaray (save the mantaray!)
    Feed the mantaray, feed the mantaray
    Feed the mantaray (save the mantaray!)

    Teeth are breaking in my mouth
    The earth is shaking in my house
    Scratch until there's nothing left
    Take what's best and leave the rest
    Paper walls are paper thin
    I don't really hate you, Tim
    Let that woman out your flat
    Don't stand in the way like that
    Calling
    Walking
    Running
    Leavers
    Lying
    Cheating
    People
    Oh

    When the words don't work anymore
    And you're talking to yourself on your knees on the floor
    What will you do, what will you do, what will you do, what will you do?
    What?
    (Save the mantaray!)
    What?
    What?
    (Save the mantaray!)

    Feed the mantaray, feed the mantaray
    Feed the mantaray, save the mantaray
    Feed the mantaray, feed the mantaray
    Feed the mantaray, save the mantaray

    What?
    What?
    What?
    What, what, what, what, what, what? Writer/s: ISAAC HOLMAN, JOYLON THOMAS, LAWRENCE VINCENT

  • Darby The Infamous from Southern California I love your music! I know myself and others are waiting for you guys to come through the states so we can catch your set live. Greatest 2 piece I've ever heard. I listen to at least 1 Slaves song everyday, and I always am on the lookout for new material. Keep up the great work, mates!
