39.Lie Still, Little Bottle
Vocal：John Flansburgh
Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me
He said, 'Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile'＊
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice
Lie still, little bottle
Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled
mind
Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still
Notes
＊The Frank O'Toole demo version： 'I need to get some shuteye, I
wish that you could let me be.'
The entire lyrics for the original Dial-a-Song version were：
As I lie still
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
