Slint

Lyrics

[Hook 1] This place is down, it's up to see Got some [?] mysteries out with [?] It's a question of pride, forget you not Take me [?] four leaf clover with [?] [Verse] I see your face etched in stain glass, angelic Meant that as measurement Angelic, fuck you can't spell it Close to the heaven when coppin' that [?] droppin flu Particular like Bob Dylan's talkin' crew It's all pros when shootin' That's your speech impediment Talk in little circles, codes Until you can gel it, and keep 'em distant 'til you collide with People, places, villains, keep persistent Gotta keep the curvage convincing Got you sayin' smoking regrets Clingin' to an empty lighter Burn up all your cigarettes The tar'll stay inside your lungs Pull tighter It's got me sickly, give me time, love, trust And a bouquet and forgive me quickly So I'm-I'm pullin' petals like She loves me not, she loves me not She loves me not enough to stop herself We like it awkward hot I'm thinkin' stop, thinkin' thoughts Like this clock's tickin', plot thickens When she drops a kiss, I pick it up Like "Hey, I think you lost this, miss" Got me wishin' But to you, our silent speech was tongue n' cheek Makin' true feelings hard to reach from toe n' cheek From high intensity to barely touch, to barely speak Speak, please speak, say somethin' monumental Pretend your- Pretend your kindest words were accidental Pretend I'm dead, I'll do the same for you In fact, lets make a toast to us, infatuation with a ghost [Instrumental] [Hook 2] This place is down, it's up to see [?] left us thinkin' [?] were blind [?] Compromising It's never a crime, what's to say? Choose wise, damned is the fool Who's battery burns to long to be cool So take it in stride, so you can [?] You'll be damned to repeat it
