Knock, knock, knock, my house is always open
Why shield myself with quills and feints and lies?
I can put on quite a show, but inside I'm broken
Porcupine, porcupine
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Please don't stop, you'll get past my defenses
My body armor's plated all the time
I got away with it once, but I soon became addicted
Porcupine, porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
On my back, the weight of my offenses
You're a skunk and I'm a porcupine
Our weaponry's evolved from heightened senses
Porcupine, porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Why shield myself with quills and feints and lies?
I can put on quite a show, but inside I'm broken
Porcupine, porcupine
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Please don't stop, you'll get past my defenses
My body armor's plated all the time
I got away with it once, but I soon became addicted
Porcupine, porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
On my back, the weight of my offenses
You're a skunk and I'm a porcupine
Our weaponry's evolved from heightened senses
Porcupine, porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
