Dinosaur Jr. Dinosaur Lyrics
1.Forget The Swan

It's floating through the abyss
Under the brig my head swings down

Beware her wrath, the image gone
The shell is crumbling, fix my frown
This spell would be clear in non-tradition
And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk
And rape goes through to sin my eyes
And shapes know where the heartache will lurk

Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if i could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan

Drifting among this rubble
I guess the waiting, wished i would
I found a box, untethered and true
Possession it understood

Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if i could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan

How i tried to warn my neighbor
But the corn was much too high
In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day
But it's not too late brother, i'll still say you were mine

Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if i could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan

Forget the swan, the dreams are gone
The pain goes on, they fly at dawn

Forget the swan
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
Forget the swan


2.Cats In A Bowl

Scrape along the sidewalk
Looking for a face
Had to get out of my room for a bit
Tension is in town and i'm ready to quit

Can't fall out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl
And i can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl

See the same old hares
Running to the same old holes
Price of liquorice has doubled
Teetering, would it finally fall

Can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl
And i can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl

Ever changing scenery
Drifting this town
Even if i leave
Someone just like me
Popped out of the ground

Loose thoughts go, he slits his hand
They'll be a problem well, ride it
Gathering, giggling, staggering
Hoping, ? has been left from last night

Scrape along the sidewalk
Looking for a face
Had to get out of my room for a bit
Tension is in town and i'm ready to quit

Can't pull out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl
And i can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl

See the same old hares
Running to the same old holes
Price of liquorice has doubled
Teetering, would it finally fall

Can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a bowl
And i can't climb out of this hole
It's just like cats in a
Just like cats in a bowl

Nowhere to run
Every town's the same
So keep on running along
Hope the sidewalk won't break for me


3.The Leper

Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life, open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling, never joking
Who should i believe

Safest to wallow in my own esteem
Afraid, stick my neck out
Knowing the day has drawn

I'm a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape

A leper
Doomed to this
My life is chosen to rape

Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling never joking
I'm a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape

A leper
Doomed to this
My life is chosen to rape


I'm a leper
Leper
Leper


4.Does It Float

The rain has washed my dog with fear
A question people think, i call a friend
And the next wave is valentine

See yourself call, no big deal
Ever since that's not a fear
Wishin, the lamp would shine
And beam me at it, give me some fuel
Find a way, to clog it up alone
Terrified, the way you stand
Feeling natural behind the phone

Rain has fallen, the tree does cry
And the toads are running free
It's no fun to that's what stinks
Bought a carrot and still can't see
You know i've been wating for 6 years
For a ray of hope, leaves me a float
Then i could believe in sunshine
In the winter time, mountains glow
There's always so much to adore
There's a little scenic picture on my skull
See the second building
Imagine, where'd you go
All i wanna know baby

Does it float
Does it float
Does it float
Does it float
Does it float
Does it float

Does it float
Does it
Float
Does it
Float
Does
Float
Why
Does it float
Does it float


5.Repulsion

I feel your eyes upon me
How should i act today
To feel so unsure always
Give up or now keep on this way

The silence taps my elbow
It's good, least that's what she said

I could run but i stand and greet it
Boredom won't starve as long as i feed it
The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun

Repulsion

Try to wake up, try to break it open
It's not quite the right feeling
I'll just keep on hoping

The girls, they smile and say hello
The darkness drags me back home
It's hard to face it
Still waiting, still alone

The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun
Repulsion

Try to wake up, try to break it open
It's not quite the right feeling
I'll just keep on hoping

The world drips down like gravy
The thoughts of love so hazy
Everyone's ideal of fun
Repulsion
Repulsion
Repulsion


6.Gargoyle

I see you every once in a while
Forget where i was standing stood
Eyes glazed with apprehension
Could it ever have been that good

The virgin's escaping
Will is fading
Another couple locks ones attention
How did i believe this fool
Non-stop degradation waiting until
Nothing can ever be the same

The virgin's escaping
Will is fading
Everyone tries their hand at love
It's just up to hope that all in amour
Everyone in which you've found
Best known by it's ? cure

I see you every once in a while
Forget where i was standing stood
Eyes glazed with apprehension
Could it ever have been that good

Will is fading


7.Severed Lips

I wanna help you
I sense you're riding pretty low
I got the feeling
When your hair hits the ceiling
Something, babe
You oughta know

I won't cry if you walk by
But if we both kind of stumble
Maybe i'll say hi
That's my best
I never try that much
'cause i'm scared of feeling
That appealing touch

You gotta get through
My maze and pass every test
'cause i'm choosin' one love
Tattooed across my chest

Know the time has come
I ain't gonna fester no more
Let the world be free
Of my disease
I never knew a rubber doll
Would be so hard to please

Now i'm preachin' out
One last burst before i retract
No one will know
'til i finally let go
Of the one thing
I ain't never going to give back

I want to help you
Baby can't you see
You're better than my pillow
'cause you don't stain so easily
You know it's hard
Just to finally let go
And leave all the pictures behind
Hope i brought you some happiness
I believe i just had to get on
'cause just wasn't a world
I wished to need to find


8.Mountain Man

Mining for a sacred lode
Drilling into untouched stone
The world has done enough to me
The horror now i'll never see

Got to fight off grizzly bears
Got to eat, so i grab a few hares
Got to struggle to survive
That's the reason i'm alive

I know i left you hurting
Disappeared with no goodbyes
But i heard the snowcats calling
I'm alright, baby please don't cry
If the guy is right for you
He doesn't live on bear cat stew
I'll live without you alright
I figured you was not sleeping at night

Got to fight off grizzly bears
Got to eat, so i grab a few hares
Got to struggle to survive
That's the reason i'm alive

The animals were my first real friends
They'll protect me 'til the end
Where the people lived was filled of lies
And the truth has no disguise

I know i left you hurting
Disappeared with no goodbyes
But i heard the snowcats calling
I'm alright, baby please don't cry
If the guy is right for you
He doesn't live on bear cat stew
I'll live without you alright
I figured you was not sleeping at night

I'm a mountain man
Rip that fucker right off, i feel fine
This is a mountain man

'cause i'm a mountain man


9.Quest

Turning towards a time so free
Justice has finally escaped
The dripping words of yesterday
Set my feeble mind astray

I yearn to see
The glow of her eyes as i appear
A sign of satisfaction
Could be the sweetest sound
The staircase has one too many steps
I've already started back down
Come on

I love the caterpillars
Munching on the leaves
Pitter patter
Makes me forget my disease
Bugs have feelers just like me
And i'm feelin' oh so lonely

Disturbed in every sense of grace
The lady wouldn't give me a taste
Of the joy that means that much
It lives within her touch

Why won't you be my friend
I would love to hold you tonight
Even if we just pretend
Why won't you be my friend
Why

Why won't you be my friend
I would love to hold you tonight
Even if we just pretend
Why won't you be my friend
Be my friend

I'd love to meet the one
Who broke my heart
I know she'd melt me with her dance
Her subtle colors, her sweet smile
But it's a shame
She'll never get that chance


10.Bulbs Of Passion

I sit queasy, jittered, uneasy
I buckle, when my judge clutches
Questioning my treatment of an ego underfed
Bulbs of passion
Bulbs of passion

Place it here on the bureau
Let the interests rip apart the understood
No one's satisfied with merely a cut
So they sabotage their own livelihood

The feeble structure is teetering, but intact
The parts all function but the fuse is lit
Teeth scrape on the last remaining fossil
I wanna to crumble but instead i slit

And hold it in my hand
But they're sweating
Train for now, but soon forget
The tears are flowing from the love in her eyes
The hated feeling gonna eat me alive
Bulbs of passion
Bulbs of passion
Bulbs of passion
Bulbs of passion
