Throwing Muses Album

Fell out of the sky
I fell out of the sky
I check the time
While you wait for your clothes to dry
I cut lemons and lemons and limes

One sour finger
Pretty as a picture
I always have a smile
Yeah, I always have a smile for you

I need a boat
Can cut through the swamp
And take you for a ride
You need a suit for
Jaunts through the swamp
Your clothes never dried

The boys change my name
I'm flying again
My, my lies
Make a baby
Healthy and wise
I cut lemons and lemons and limes

I need a boat
Can cut through the swamp
And take you for a ride
You need a suit for
Jaunts through the swamp
Your clothes never dried
Don't worry the bees
Don't worry the bees
They buzz around me
Don't worry the bees
The buzz sounds sweet to me

Ruthie's knocking
Oh my God
Who's she talking to?
Not a clue
Now she's shouting
I'll be on the floor
You go get the door

Just had to make sure you knew
That's a jack-o-lantern moon
Don't look in the mirror
Or he'll look back at you

Ruthie take a shower
I smell like a flower
Your cats smell better than you do
Her cats are pretty cool

Where's he now?
He's on the floor
She flips off the window
And spits at the door
My advice is twice what he's worth
The moon'll get him first
Mark my words
The medicine chests are backwards
Don't be surprised
If you have flaming eyes
Tonight, tonight
Yeah tonight
Ruthie's eyes are bright

Ruthie's spine is taped with feathers
They're all mine
They grew
So you see them too.
Ruthie, yeah
Your brain she's fried
You should see my mind

Dance around
Play around
Fool around
Walk around
Run around
Jump around
Fool around
Be around

I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm a freeloader, I'm a freeloader
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm a freeloader, I'm a freeloader
I'm hungry enough
To follow you around

I don't hear, I don't hear
I don't hear, I don't hear
I'm a free thinker, I'm a free thinker
I'm empty enough
To see you as I want to

I'm headed for the trees over there
If that's not a destination
I don't care

I don't care, I don't care
I don't care. I don't care
I'm a broken kid, I'm a broken kid
I'm lonely enough
To make the air around you sweet

I'm an open book, I'm an open book
I'm lady enough
To meet you secretly

I'm headed for the trees over there
If that's not a destination
I don't care

Well you just wait
we're lost again
Great, oh just great
We're lost again

Get your mouth out of the gutter
Get your butt back to the sand
If it gets any hotter
Rock your baby in the sun
And beg your big break
We're us again

Shake your big weight
You'll crave again
The field has melted snow in summer
Back with lousy rain
One more star above the clouds
Is not such a bad thing
I have to say
I have to say
One more star above the buoys
Is not such a bad thing

Say it just say
We're safe again
Get your mouth out of the gutter
Get your butt back to the sand
If it gets any hotter
Take your baby by the hand

Nice limbo you have here
Nice limbo you have here
Nice field you have on
Baby go back to your womb
Baby go back to your womb

You grow the apples around me
I'll spit the seeds in your grave
Bead me a necklace
A decade I'll wait

Picture this gun
I'm tired of crying
I'm gonna run
I swear you
Move you
To my pores
I'm not gonna cry anymore

Dead is next door
Dead is next door

Baby go back to your womb
Baby go back to your womb

You pulled my limbs one by one in your limbo
You pulled my limbs one by one in your limbo

Look at this
It don't fit
You've put wildinto it
I'm amazed
You've put wild into it
What can I give you
What can I give

Cool place
I'm amazed
You rock me into space
You put cake
Down my throat
And in my face
What can I give you
What can I take

Kissing you is like kissing gravel
But feel's like getting off
Kissing you is like sinking
Down into the moss
You look better upside down
You look better lying down

On the move
I can lose
All my sympathy for you
Sitting straight
On the back of mother hate
What can I tell you
What can I say

On my knees
I can see
All your better qualities
So you freeze
I make frozen into heat
What can I tell you
That you'll believe

Kissing you is like kissing gravel
But feels like getting drunk
Kissing you is like sinking
Down into the mud
You look better upside down
You look better lying down

For today
I've arranged
To be just enough deranged
To relax
In the arms of someone strange
I promise you today
I promise you today
I promise you today

Thank you for singing my chains
When I couldn't sleep
Thank you for chaining me to the bed
That was sweet
Sing me to sleep
Sing to me

My sad brother
My sunny lover
How much are you worth
Or do you work

Sometimes you're so heavy
Sometimes I don't feel you at all
Feeling for a lightswitch
I'm feeling this Seconal
I don't like this party
They won't let me make the drinks
So I'm not getting drunk
I don't wanna even think

What's going on
In your corner
If I'm not making friends
You're not making enemies

You lock the cuffs in your pocket
Around my wrist
I'll even let you pretend
That I didn't resist
Sing me a kiss
Sing to me

My sad brother
My sunny lover
How hard do you work
Or do you

I'm so happy
He's talking crap
He just puts me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing to me

My sad brother
My sunny lover
How hard do you come
Or do you

I'm so hazy
You talking crazy
Just puts me to sleep
Sing to me
Put me to sleep
Sing to me
Sing me to sleep

Sun bakes
The window makes
The sheets hot and wet
At night they're cold and blue
Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
Why do I like you?
'Cause I'd kill to be you

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet Dreams
Serene

Dancing with scissors
Our bones full of wishes
We wait for our plans to come true
Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
Why do I like you?
'Cause I'd kill to be you

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene

We fill each other's arms
You wanna wish higher
You wanna live higher
Lose control

If you're in the ballpark
Then you can play the game
You know you know the rules
Why do I like you?
'Cause I do
I like you
'Cause I'm thrilled to be here

Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene
Sweet nothing
Sweet dreams
Serene

Wake up now
I wanna wake up now
I wanna wake with your weight on me
Arms around
My favorite sound you make

I could sleep
If I could only think
I'm not alone with these stars on me
Diamond heat
Cuts me deep
You know

Wake up now
Why don't you wake up now
Look my heart's almost breaking
I know that now
Oh but I don't know how
I can give up all this sinking
So wake up now
Why don't you wake with your weight on me
Arms around
My favorite sound
You make

I feel fine
Want me to drive
It was mist
That you kissed

You can talk a blue streak
You can talk till you're blue
And we won't feel any finer
Than we do

It was mist
That you kissed
Spread the mist
With your fist

You can talk a blue streak
You can talk till you're blue
And we won't feel any finer
Than we do

I like to know you're real
Any scarecrow wears clothes
I like to see your face
Could you turn this way?
Could you turn this way?
Could you turn this way?

There's always something to pray for
Ham-fisted good will
There's always someone to pray for
And believe me I will And believe me I will
And believe me I will And believe me I will
And believe me I will And believe me I will

Pack the truck under the moon
Jesus Christ, my lips are red
You ask a lot of the moon
When you ask me to forget
I never asked you to pay my rent
Jesus Christ, my lips are red
God, you turn me on my head
You're gonna haul me back again

I heard cowbirds call us home
I heard cowbirds call us home

Fry your ground, take it
Lie around naked
I think God dripped you out of a sunbeam
Only God dragged you out a tree with me
I pulled you out of a snow bank
I think you grew me out of the dirt
I heard you pulled me out of a church
To worship you
Worship you

I wanna ride inside
I wanna ride inside
I hold both of your fingers tighter
You hold all of my hand, man
I can see right through you
I can see right through you
I double-back and lose for this
I miss you
I miss you

I heard cowbirds call us home

He don't seem so keen
He don't seem so keen to me
He don't seem so keen
He don't seem that keen on me
I never asked him to pay my rent
Jesus Christ, that rose is red
I'm turning it on it's head
Just like he does to me

You suck me dry
I'll never die
You suck me dry
I'll never die
You suck me dry
I'll never die
Me and your rose
Are gonna haul you back again

This afternoon
Your back's not so straight
Your eyes aren't too clear
I could kiss you
For remembering my birthday
Find you on the dock
Out of money out of luck
You should thank me
For remembering your name
You could be very easy

Spin the shotglass
Kiss the bottle
Shark in your brain
Spin the shotglass
Kill the bottle
Shark in your brain
'Cause she's warm

This afternoon
Your bite's not so bad
Your bark's not too scary
I could kiss you
For remembering my address
Find you in the dumps
Out of money out of drugs
You should thank me
For offering my mattress
You could be very easy

Spin the shotglass
Kiss the bottle
Shark in your brain
Spin the shotglass
Kill the bottle
Shark in your brain
'Cause she's warm

Spin the shotglass
Shoot the bottle
I find angels over drinks
And you're one
