Throwing Muses Throwing Muses Lyrics
1.Green

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...


2.Rabbit's Dying

He's running home again
He's running in the rain
Covering the brain
I'll stay in, stay in
It rains
It's walking on the trail
Crawling on the trail
Its legs are giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time
Know it knows time
The rabbit's dying
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't save the brain
Look up, look up
Can't see the rabbit lying
The rabbit's dying

Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it
He's watching time
He's watching, marching to his end
He knows time, he sees it
Know it, know it, know it
Ooh, follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it, oh
He's watching time
He's running blind
He's marching slower, slower, slower, slower
Can't feel the rain
He feels time
Don't run blind
The rabbit's dying
Look up, look up
Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more
I know it

He's crawling on the trail
Lying on the trail
Giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time
Stay in, stay in
It rains
Can't feel the rain
He feels time
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't spare the brain
Look up, look up


3.Call Me

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


4.Vicky's Box

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


5.America(She Can't Say No)

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


6.Delicate Cutters

It's just the lack
Of time I keep
Reaching out, lashing out

It's just the lines
Run down the walls
I can't believe they never fall
The walls never leave
And the walls begin to scream

Ahhh
And my toes against the wall
I stare ahead
The door inside the wall
Your face inside the door
You crawl across the room

The picture never moves
My books are very still
You slide to my feet
You slide across the floor

I
Throw your head across the ice
I
Throw my head through a window
Crash
Like poetry

It's four o'clock, I'm waiting
Your face appears
I keep forgetting your name
While I'm writing this, you
You crash through the wall
You fall off the floor

I
Slide your head across the ice
I
Throw my hands through the window
Crash
Like gods

A room
Full of delicate cutters
All sitting down, the room has many doors
All but one of them are closed
She goes around
(Remember)
Opening the doors

This has another ending
Full of innocent children
One of them are closed

She goes around
This has another ending
(Remember the room)
Full of delicate cutters
Opening the doors


7.Soul Soldier

The cut
That kills the knife
'Til it breaks
Spitting shells
Their eyes were locked
And their hearts were open
And in love, we couldn't breathe
In love, we couldn't say the word
(Call)
In love, we couldn't breathe
In love, we couldn't breathe the word

He crawls along the battlefields
The sky spitting shells
That heart is on the ground
It spits in his face
The cut
That kills the knife
Forcing it
'Til it breaks
Forces our heart
Can't replace
Forces a heartbreak

She loves him
She loves him
She needs her soul
Soul soldier
Soul soldier

She loves him (he's all she needs)
She loves him (he's all she needs)
She needs her soul
Soul soldier
(Soul soldier)
Soul soldier

An apple run to heaven, Dan-U
Dan-U, God damn you

An apple run to heaven, Dan-U
Dan-U, God damn you

She loves him (he's all she needs)
She loves him (he's all she needs)
She needs her soul
Soul soldier
(Soul soldier)

An apple run to heaven, Dan-U
(She loves him)
Dan-U, God damn you


8.Hate My Way

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


9.Stand Up

And a night
Frightening dark and
It was light
A big tree branches and
I was dancing
I'm straining
My broken neck and
Walking fast
Look at my glasses then
Look at her shoes

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(...)

I wish you
Were a house to me
Frightening light so
Keep it dark
Keep your lights low so
I can't see inside
She runs
To the big people
But listen to me
I know

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(I don't know)

I love
What does she put on now?
Every day
Do you love her more than me?
All night long

Break your arm, it ain't no face
Wear shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(... a scream)


10.Fear

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)
