Swing (Radio Edit)

Lyrics

are you weary as water
 in a faucet left dripping
 with an incessant sadness
 like a sad record skipping
 and an ugly and ornery
 and shadowy dread
 lurking like a troll under the bridge
 between your heart and your head
 she came to and her
 whole life was how she remembered it
 she had a mouth full of fur
 and she was laughing
 she parked her hearse across
 three spaces posted "motorcycles only"
 and jumped out shouting
 what the cus could make a nice girl like us
 feel so lonely?
 are you weary as water
 in a faucet left dripping
 with an incessant sadness
 like a sad record skipping
 and an ugly and ornery
 and shadowy dread
 lurking like a troll under the bridge
 between your heart and your head
 please dumb blind kind sir
 lend little miss listless just a little bit of christmas
 she's been a real good girl
 but now she's stuck here
 the world is so little and still
 mysterious and ominious as ever before
 like an unmarked bottle full of pills
 on the shelf right next to the thing
 you were reaching for
 are you weary as water
 in a faucet left dripping
 with an incessant sadness
 like a sad record skipping
 and an ugly and ornery
 and shadowy dread
 lurking like a troll under the bridge
 between your heart and your head
 swing the groove 'round here
 where i can reach it
 when i get my ass back on track
 i'm gonna need it
 swing shift til i get the money
 to buy me and my baby a moon full of honey
 then i'm gonna turn the nagging voices
 inside my head
 that follw me to bed and fill my head with (you suck)
 are you weary as water (what'd you do that for?)
 in a faucet left dripping
 with an incessant sadness
 like a sad record skipping
 and an ugly and ornery
 and shadowy dread
 lurking like a troll under the bridge
 between your heart and your head
 (end of radio version rest is only on To the Teeth)
 if you diggin on the sound (break it down down)
 no walls up break it down (break it down down)
 happiness spread it all around (break it down down)
 racist stomp it in the ground (break it down down)
 so if you diggin on the sound (break it down down)
 no walls up break it down (break it down down)
 ignorance stomp it in the ground (break it down down)
 then happiness spread it all around (break it down down)
 tcha who said funk and hip hop cant match
 put us together on a stage and like a match
 KABOOM guess who stepped in the room
 sweepin ya off ya feel like we had a broom
 with ani difranco and Maceo.
 add a little freestyle flow and who knows
 put a little scratchin into the mix and
 its enough to get you high if you need a fixin
 if you diggin on the sound (break it down down)
 no walls up break it down (break it down down)
 ignorance stomp it in the ground (break it down down)
 happiness spread it all around (break it down down)
 if you diggin on the sound (break it down down)
 no walls up break it down (break it down down)
 happiness spread it all around (break it down down)
 racist stomp it in the ground (break it down down)
 break it down down down down (fades out)
