Speedy Ortiz Raising the Skate lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heaven, have mercy on the hypnic jerk
You're blamed for your speech
Walk around the block again
Wait 'til I feel cool and straight
With the direst [?] on undertaking

[Pre-Chorus]
Carefully, steady
Are we steady?
Cool and ready

[Chorus]
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
Shooter, not the shot
Of the [?] fit to execute
I'm chief, not the overthrown
Captain, not a crony
So if you wanna row, you better have an awfully big boat
Boat, boat, boat

[Verse 2]
Holding a package from a total stranger
Who claims to know me
No, you never knew me, man
Not even a fraction
You just glimpsed your own reflection
In a gold sheen [?]

[Chorus]
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss

Shooter, not the shot
[?] to raise the skate
I'm chief, not the overthrown
Captain, not a crony
So if you wanna throw, you better have an awfully big stone
Stone, stone, stone
Stone, stone, stone

[Bridge]
[?] for this honor while we wait for [?]
Dip a toe until it's sunk and freezing
But just because I let you kill time dangling me from the quarry
Doesn't mean that I won't land on my feet

[Chorus]
That's cause I'm the boss
Caller of the shots
Soon, I may [?] smitten me
Chief, [?]
[?]
I'm raising the skate
Look, I'm raising the skate
I'm raising the skate
I'm raising the skate
Look, I'm raising the skate
I'm raising the skate
Oh, oh, oh
