Lyrics Kevin Devine

Kevin Devine

Instigator

I keep it dumb, do it just like you tell me to

I draw it straight as I possibly can

I come as close to the truth as I ever do

I take some liberties

I am what I am

And that surprises everyone

I wanna be your instigator

Molotov in your clenched left hand

I wanna be your instigator

Your dynamite, your weatherman

Colliding thoughts, bundled up, indecipherable

Jumped on one foot ’till they fell from my ear

A garbage sea thick with steel chips & airplane glue

I poured it all in your lap: “Baby, here.”

I was surprised, like anyone

I wanna be your instigator

Molotov in your clenched left hand

I wanna be your instigator

Your dynamite, your weatherman

A barricade

A catalyst

An argument for blowing over it

I was as surprised as anyone

I wanna be your instigator

Molotov in your clenched left hand

I wanna be your instigator

Your dynamite, your weatherman

I wanna be your instigator

I wanna be your instigator

I wanna be your instigator

Your dynamite, your weatherman
