Альбом Throwing Muses

I am the opposite of you
You battle your mean spirit
I'm suffering through my own
You answer to no one
I don't know what that's like
I honestly don't know what that's like

We quit making out to attend this meeting
With old ladies on tremendous amounts of coke
And reeling, I hear my bad voice call
My wayward brain reels
My easily distracted brain reels

Head full of
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury

I am a complement to you
We park in the shade
And somehow equate that with dealing
I hope I don't stomp on your heart
I know what that's like
Believe me, I know what that's like

Head full of
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury
Climbing mercury

You weren't faking it I guess
Cause her girlfriend drives faster than you
Even on this fucked up road
Where everything is so far away

You make a nice nice noise i guess
And a good night seems likely here
Even on this fucked up road
Where everybody's so far away

Pretty or not
On top or underneath
You're never, never out of reach

I'm so sorry i'm cardiac baggage
I'm so sorry you feel so bad
I'd do anything to fix you again
I'm so sorry you feel so bad

Is everything feeling ok?
Is everything feeling ok?

You're wound up too tight I guess
The same troubles shaking me apart
Hard lessons the easy way
As everybody falls into place

Pretty or not
On top or underneath
You're never, never out of reach

I'm so sorry i'm cardiac baggage
I'm so sorry you feel so bad
I'd do anything to fix you again
I'm so sorry you feel so bad

Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?
Is everything fading away?

Lie down, don't move
Quiet, you
Sick with amazement
I'm soaking and broke
Here's a big fat aspirin
Maybe you'll choke
That's not funny
Get me into your club
Get me off your hook
I want to get excited
I want to be your slave
Ignorance is happiness unless you get paid

And the times never change
I'm running out of days
And we can always run away
And you can always run away with me
And we can always run away
And you can always run away with me
Run away with me
Run away

I don't like you anymore than you know
But I still like you too much
This city's insane
These people are crazy
You can buy me breakfast
And then find me a coat
Back in that apartment I saw too many ghosts to go home
This bread is old
My coffee's cold
We live on toast and coffee
We live on bread and water
We live on Coke and pretzels
We live on bread and water

Times never change
I'm running out of days
And we can always run away
And you can always run away with me
And we can always run away
And you can always run away with me
Run away with me
Run away

I don't like you anymore than you know
But I still like you too much

Perfect, perfect body
And a broken nose
Perfect body and two black eyes
Oh don't remind me
I'm right, i'm right behind you

Inside that pandora's box
Was a can of worms
You'll milk that shaved head you move like an insect
I'm right behind you
I'm right behind you

Unholy hotel
What a place to sleep
And that chemical smell
But i'm geting mine
Right there behind you
I'm right, i'm right behind you

Inside that pandora's box
Was a can of worms
You'll milk that shaved head you move like an insect
I'm right behind you
I'm right behind you

That ocean's not so deep
That water's not so dark
Flood of water, bitter sea
That did you like you needed me

Perfect, perfect angel
With a dirty mouth
A perfect angel
But i'm gonna fry
Right there behind
I'm right, i'm right behind you

Inside that pandora's box
Was a can of worms
You'll milk that shaved head you move like an insect
I'm right behind you
I'm right behind you

That ocean's not so deep
That water's not so dark
Flood of water, bitter sea
That did you like you needed me

I dreamed you saw the eyes of a paranoid man
And quit your vision of the millenium
Leaving our hopes in the hands of the psychics

Peace isn't quiet, i'm heading down the freeway
I'm hanging on the frequency of your voice
I'm drunk on the sound of your voice

I dreamed i climbed a hill in the midnight mud
You turned a blind eye to the baby
Leaving our hopes in the hands of the psychos

Peace isn't quiet, i'm heading down the freeway
I'm hanging on the frequency of your voice
I'm drunk on the sound of your voice

There are sapphires in the trees
And the moths as big as bats
Lucky me, to have all that

What do you have on your mind?
What do you have on your mind?

There are sapphires in the trees
And the moths as big as bats
Lucky me, to have all that

What do you have on your mind?
What do you have on your mind?
What do you have on your mind?
What do you have on your mind?

was a man, took a hand, cleared the ground
dug a hole we called home
sprawled here eleven years, forty four seasons
we came unstuck and it stung

unstuckness flew me through the air,
whispered in my ear
this is chaos and it stings
tiny strings across the united states
run from you to me and everyone we ever breathed with

i don't care if you're sad
i don't care if your heart is breaking
you soothe me and you turn me on
speed and sleep

i locked the dogs in the car
and cut across the parking lot
i'm far away today
but i might as well not be
if you quit making mistakes
i might not leave
if you quit making mistakes
i might just stay

I like this place, it's a zoo
It seems to agree with you
I still want this to be a fraternity
Not a spastic appeal for another

Like frat boys who sleep together we party better
All the world loves a lover

A portia spider clue
Your enemy's still you
I still want this to be a fraternity
Not a halfway house girl and her doctor

Like frat boys who sleep together we party better
We know what it means to be a brother

I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken

When you're dizzy and time-tripping
Hack away at your memory
Even when it makes you sad I'll be waiting
All you see are possibilities
And your own killer expectations

Like spiders without a victim
We're ready for action
All the way home

I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken

Everybody's soaking wet, ready for the solar dip
It was so easy to fly, it was so easy to fly
Thunder in the blue sunshine
When did this city die?
I'm sick of turning you off
I'm sick of turning you off

After an afternoon of insatiable begging
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing, hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone, good enough for you

Flown way out in space
Who's on your tapes?
Who's in your wall?
Who's in your way?
Who keeps you soft?
Who makes you late?
Who do you call when you're ok?
And when you're not?
I'm so mad i could spit
I'm so mad i could spit

I don't invite chaos
It's just that they hate us
I'm sick of pissing them off
I'm sick of pissing them off

After an afternoon of mysterious fighting
Every frenzy is real
Skin is singing
Hands are burning
Everybody is healed
I am good enough for someone
Good enough for you

Flown way out in space
Who's in your face?
Who's in yoru heart?
Who do you pay?
What have you got?
Who complicates your easy plot?
Who hesitates and then you're lost?

Now I know why
You are the way you are
You'll see the air
The tactful past

Which is more forgiving
Than these last moments

We are the last of your faithful, well, friends
We love the crash that accompanies epiphany

You don't have low self esteem
You don't have any self esteem at all

You float around, don't touch the ground
What little confidence you had
Is melting away

We are the last of your faithful, well, friends
We love the crash that accompanies epiphany

I refuse to lose control
You do look handsome under wal-mart lights though...

kissing through the weekend,
we can prove we're perfect
on a mattress made of wasted time
a safe motel room is a catacomb
nobody cheats you after dark
los flamingos lost their bark

I can see myself and
I'm eating out of your hand
on a carpet made of everything
a safe motel room is a catacomb
nobody loses in the dark
los flamingos lost their bark

I'm still with it
I'm still here
is that how come you're so mad?
I want all you ever had

your nose is broken
but your mouth is working
there's a rainbow on the bathroom wall
a safe motel room is a catacomb
nobody sees you in the dark
los flamingos lost their bark

I'm still with it
I'm still here
is that how come you're so mad?
I want all you never had

Sleep, the great dream killer
And leave them great
Ass-kisser on TV
To wake up all of me
An underwater makeup
The service, of what you don't see
Oh-ohh

Empathetic listening
In the dark room, and at the TV
You won't have to watch them grow
They don't hurry, they all wanna be
You in a ballroom
You don't spit on your dancing feet
Oh-oh-oh

Come outside, everyone's outside
Come outside, everyone's outside
Come outside, everything's alright
Look at these crazy stars

Oh you pushed me so hard
I'm waiting to fall down
Do you holler Hollywood
Half full and thin

Lovers have blast and have baby
Our bodies have weight and have motion
Together we settle into the home

What a beautiful face
Cracking through the ice and
Following two rattlesnakes
And your basic appetite

Shuddering and the smoking roses
Shivering in the bright sun

I'm following to wild places
To see what God has done
And settle into the blue

Come outside, everyone's outside
Come outside, everyone's outside
Come outside, everything's alright
Look at these crazy stars

Boy you pushed me so hard
I'm waiting to fall down
Do you holler Hollywood
Half full and thin

Love is half blast and half vacant
Our bodies have weight and have motion
Together we settle into the home

Wig out on me
One more time, i swear
We'll take this outside
I take you to pretty places
You'd think you'd just take the rest in stride
Wrong
But if i'd known fucking with a payphone would've got me this
I would've tried sooner

Why can't i sleep, in here?
Bury me, bury me inside him
Familiar faces never lie
You think they know what's coming
Wrong
But if i'd thought keeping us apart did any good
I would've died sooner

I make you so sad
What can i do, what can i do?
I worry so bad
What can i do, what can i do?

I make you so mad
What can i do, what can i do?
I want you so bad
What can i do, what can i do?

Wig out on me
I don't mind, i swear
By now i almost like it
This place is fascinating when you're here
But when you're not, it's not
But if i'd known leaving every home would get me here
I would've gone sooner

Read the stop signs
I can't love nothing
I mate, kill
You wake up and it's not morning
I can't sleep, I loved you once
I loved you so much

There's a shape on the horizon
As we're picked off one by one
Something's gone
Something's over

Move your hand again
I can't watch you wash
The floor
You live for the green
I hold your flame
So why?

There's a shape over the ocean
As we're picked off one by one
Summer's gone
Summer's over

Somebody here's too smart
There's nothing that doesn't die
Why don't you do to my insight
What you do to my insides?
Oh, babe

I'm in a deep hole
I've dug myself five feet deep
So many people want to talk
They look in the mirror, see themselves
They look in the mirror, they look at me,
They look at me
They look at me, oh-oh-oh

Something's gone
Something's over

Peter said
"Thanks for letting me hold you
Calling me moonshine
I can take you there and call you that"
This is your name

I'm lonely at night
Time on my hands
I feel sad in the day
Call me
Call me
Call me

Nobody knows
Home or away
What I'm waiting for
Call me
Call me
Call me

Here I am
What a loser
Waiting for years to go by
Call me
Call me
Call me

You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwords
These are air

There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?

I shouldn't be smoking
This last cigarette
I feel sick
Now there are words in my head

You took my house
Burned it inside out
Kneel in my ashes
Kneading them

There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And now you're leaving again, no

Temper and tempest
To knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
What's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands are in your hair
You're on the deep with the stars(?)

You built a city in my head
Where are your candles?
(...can see my...)
And a phoenix that was you in my bed
These are subwords
These are air
(Turning my body around)

There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
(There's one boy)
And green eyes

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?

Smoke falls to the ceiling
It begins
There's a man dancing at me
He's making circles
So I will tell you now
(I wear your clothes)
I wear your clothes like armour
(I love your face)
I love your face like God
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
And now you're leaving again
No...

I could be a smack freak
And hate society
I could hate God
And blame Dad
I might be in a Holocaust
Hate Hitler
Might not have a child
And hate school
I could be a sad lover
And hate death
I could be a neuro
And hate sweat
No
I hate my way

I make you in to a song
I can't rise above the church
I'm caught in a jungle
Vines tangle my hands
I'm always so hot and it's hot in here
I say it's all right

My pillow screams too
But so does my kitchen
And water
And my shoes
And the road

I have a gun in my head
I'm invisible
I can't find the ice

A slug
I'm TV
I hate

A boy, he was tangled in his bike forever
A girl was missing two fingers
Gerry Ann was confused
Mr. Huberty
Had a gun in his head

So I sit up late in the morning
And ask myself again
How do they kill children?
And why do I want to die?
They can no longer move
I can no longer be still

I hate
My way

He
Won't ride in
Cars anymore
It reminds him of
Blowjobs
That he's a queer
And his hair
Stuck to the roof, over the wheel
Like a pigeon on a tire
Goes around
And circles over circles
And he's a queer
And his hair
On the roof
Like a pigeon
Goes around
Says he's a man
And his eyes
And his hair
And his eyes
Say he's a man
He won't ride anymore
He won't ride anymore
He won't ride anymore

Home is a rage
Feels like a cage
Home is what you read
How you breathe
Home is how you live
I feel boxed in
I feel boxed in
I feel boxed in
Think I'll be all right
Home is where the heart lies
The heart lies
The heart lies
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home

It's under the strangle of winter
I only love pieces of things that I hate
Like this box, this piece of roof
I can't grasp, can't see true
A piece of past
Days like today
Like a decade ago
Painful to remember like today

I've been here another year, another day
Ocean waving flies and a child
Girl you complain
To kiss the rotten broken knee

You may be dreaming
You may be bleeding
You may be in this box

A kitchen is a place where you prepare
And clean up
Clean up
Clean up
Clean up

He's running home again
He's running in the rain
Covering the brain
I'll stay in, stay in
It rains
It's walking on the trail
Crawling on the trail
Its legs are giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time
Know it knows time
The rabbit's dying
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't save the brain
Look up, look up
Can't see the rabbit lying
The rabbit's dying

Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it
He's watching time
He's watching, marching to his end
He knows time, he sees it
Know it, know it, know it
Ooh, follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it, oh
He's watching time
He's running blind
He's marching slower, slower, slower, slower
Can't feel the rain
He feels time
Don't run blind
The rabbit's dying
Look up, look up
Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it

He's crawling on the trail
Lying on the trail
Giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time
Stay in, stay in
It rains
Can't feel the rain
He feels time
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't spare the brain
Look up, look up

Follow the road
Swallow the snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away

Oh
He had a nightmare
Go
I'm losing my person
I'm only talking
But look at me
I'm in bed, I'm asleep
I'm a mess, at my hair
Oh, oh, oh

Follow the road
Swallow the snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away

No more backs
She can't say
America can't say no
Stand up
She can't stand up
Bang
She's afraid
I can't say
I can't say
N-N-N-No

Oh
It was a funeral
Mine
He was doing it
Under the stars
And I was crying again
Run through with a sword
Simultaneously
At the same time

No more backs
She can't say
America can't say no
Stand up
She can't stand up
Bang
She's afraid
I can't say
I can't say
N-N-N-No
No more backs
She can't say
America can't say no
Stand up
She can't stand up
Bang
She's afraid
I can't say
I can't say
N-N-N-No

No more backs
Say no
Stand up
Stand up
I'm afraid, I'm a mess
So
Put these right
What's it look like?
I can't stand
I won't tell you she's dead

Follow the road
Swallow the snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away
N-N-N-No

I hold you in my shins
I won't break
Your pain
This is much better than me
Okay?

Fear, oh (fear, oh)
Oh, oh (fear, oh) X4
Looks like me

Nothing ever works
Even if
It's all you got
This is a state of shock

Fear, oh (fear, oh)
Oh, oh (fear, oh) X4
Looks like me

Oh, oh

I don't think anything
You cover
My spine
Hold my face, shoot me and die

Fear, oh (fear, oh)
Oh, oh (fear, oh) X5
Looks like me

Up to your face
Up to your cheeks
Up through your eyes
Give me what I want (up to your forehead)
And all I can think about
Is losing it
I'm losing it
I hurt
Look at me run away
Stop talking
You hurt me
And I'm not crying
Dry-y (through your eyes)

And a night
Frightening dark and
It was light
A big tree branches and
I was dancing
I'm straining
My broken neck and
Walking fast
Look at my glasses then
Look at her shoes

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(...)

I wish you
Were a house to me
Frightening light so
Keep it dark
Keep your lights low so
I can't see inside
She runs
To the big people
But listen to me
I know

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(I don't know)

I love
What does she put on now?
Every day
Do you love her more than me?
All night long

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(... a scream)

The cut
That kills the knife
'Til it breaks
Spitting shells
Their eyes were locked
And their hearts were open
And in love, we couldn't breathe
In love, they couldn't say the word
(Aaaah)

In love, we couldn't breathe
In love, they couldn't breathe a word

He crawls along the battlefields
The sky spitting shells
That heart is on the ground
Fate shits in his face
That cut
That kills the knife
Forcing it
'Til it breaks
Horses our heart
Can't replace
Horses are heartbreak

She loves him
She loves him
She needs her soul, soul soldier.
Soul soldier

She loves him (he's all she needs)
She loves him (he's all she needs)
She needs her soul, soul soldier
Soul soldier

And I will run to heaven, not you
damn you, God damn you

And I will run to heaven, not you
damn you, God damn you

She loves him (he's all she needs)
She loves him (he's all she needs)
She needs her soul, soul soldier
Soul soldier

And I will run to heaven, not you
(She loves him)
damn you, God damn you

It's just the lack
Of time I keep
Reaching out, lashing out

It's just the lines
Run down the walls
I can't believe they never fall
The walls never leave
And the walls begin to scream

I
And my toes against the wall
I stare ahead
The door inside the wall
Your face inside the door
You crawl across the room

The picture never moves
My books are very still
You slide to my feet
You slide across the floor

I
Throw your head across the ice
I
Throw my head through the window
Crash
Like poetry

It's four o'clock, I'm waiting
Your face appears
I keep forgetting your name
While I'm writing this, you
You crash through the wall

You fall off the floor

I
Slide your head across the ice
I
Throw my hands through the window
Crash
Like gods

A room
Full of delicate cutters
All sitting down, the room has many doors
All but one of them are closed
She goes around
(Remember)
Opening the doors

This has another ending
Full of innocent children
One of them are closed

She goes around
This has another ending
Remember the room
(Full of delicate cutters)
Opening the doors
