Throwing Muses Album

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

Well it's sundown in the sinkhole,
It's sunrise up on the hill.
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm,
And they're keeping very still.
It's summer in Winterhaven,
And the earth, she's caving in.
There's no water on the land,
And it's all because of sin.

Mae Rose Owens lost her bedroom
When the porches all fell in.
Guy Laguarde kissed his yard goodbye
And it's all because of sin.
No one must be told
About this thieving in the night,
Satan stole the landscape,
It was gone with the morning light.

It's sundown in the sinkhole,
It's sunrise up on the hill.
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm,
And they're keeping very still.
It's summer in Winterhaven,
And the earth, she's caving in.
There's no water on the land,
And it's all because of sin.

Seven recreational vehicles were buried underground.
Seven cranes went after them,
Six could not be found.
A Porsche and half a swimming pool
Are lost I am afeared.
The seventh crane approached the hole,
Then it disappeared.

It's sundown in the sinkhole,
It's sunrise up on the hill.
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm,
And they're keeping very still.
It's summer in Winterhaven,
And the earth, she's caving in.
There's no water on the land,
And it's all because of sin.

St. Augustine in his slumber,
Feels the depths of his own soul.
St. Bernadette in her vision,
Feels her body beyond control.
The flowers of Narcissus,
Are nailed to the underworld door,
And Hades has the medicine,
And he keeps down on the floor.

It's sundown in the sinkhole,
It's sunrise up on the hill.
The thieves are sleeping in Hades palm,
And they're keeping very still.
It's summer in Winterhaven,
And the earth, she's caving in.
There's no water on the land,
And it's all because of sin.

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

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)

The kids were flying today
Don't call her girlfriend, we were saying
And I was locked into a frame
But listening again
Don't wait up for me I know what God wants

Raise the roof, don't pay rent
Raise the roof, yeah

I was purified today
And feeling now I can be pretty
And he is feeling very rude
But listening again
I hear my pillow screaming find him

Raise the roof, don't pay rent
Raise the roof, yeah

He wants if she decks out with
Quiet down all you noisy girls
He loves those noisy girls
He wants to beat them up, he loves them so much
Don't call me girlfriend, don't call me girl
This is no light thunder
My ears are humming with him
And he's dancing 'cause it's raining
This is no light fever
And my face is burning with him
And I'm building, but I'm losing

(Raise the roof)
If I leave you (Don't pay rent)
Please don't call me back again
You know where I stay (Raise the roof)
In my launing room (Get high, get lost, get low)
With that clause is
(Raise the roof and space out the proof and pick up the roof)
I keep everything of yours (and raise the fences)
You keep me (Raise the rent and pick up the roof)
Because I called you love
(Raise the roof and raise the roses)
That's the music, you know
From the box you gave to me long ago
When my room was cold
Now the sun falls on through the window
When she warms the wood
I can sit here all day with you

So it's cowboys in flying colors riding home
Leave my tears alone, it's too funny
Ah-ah-ahhh...

It's me and she spilling jewels and collarbones gray
(waste of time now I don't want cold, lonely)
Side by side little? down the road
And a she-wolf, my face one more square
Don't be afraid, it's my road
Once more alone

I can see them riding over the hills
Cowboy hats are back in,
This is the future (and this is your future) after the war
And I don't eat anymore

It's me and she spilling jewels and collarbones gray
(Frank Lloyd Wright, try to sleep under a dome under the sky)

Side by side they go down the road
It's my road, once more alone

As a warm gun thanking her
She makes me dangerous
Blood on our teeth

Ready?

I
Have a fish nailed
To a cross
On my apartment wall
It sings to me with glassy eyes
And quotes from Kafka
I sings to me

An eel is squirming on my couch
He's talking up a storm
I'm laughing at his face
He slithers down across the floor
I'm laughing

I
Have a man
It follows my hips with his hands
Don't worry (I'm laughing)
Dance in the road (I have a man)
And it explodes
(It follows my lips with his melting eyes)
Don't worry
Dance in the road

Fellow turns a fishy eye from the counter
I feel at his hand
Stalking in the grey
The girl behind the counter
Sees a fin (school)

An eel slithers to the chalkboard
It writes 1 plus 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5
plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6
Don't worry
Dance in the road
And it explodes
Don't worry
Dance in the road

The house is reeling
I'm kneeling by the tub
Lonely is as lonely does
Lonely is an eyesore
The feeling describes itself

I
Have a man
It follows my hips with his hands
I'm laughing
At a man
It follows my lips with his melting eyes

Don't worry
Dance in the road
And it explodes
Don't worry
Dance in the road
Eye...

I'm painting his eye in the middle of the floor
Fish is frozen in my living room
Stares out of a block of ice
With one melting eye... eye... eye...
(Whoo!) Aced it
Sick
