Built to Spill

Big Dipper

Once...

When I was little someone pointed out to me

Some constellations but the big dipper's all I could see

That brontasaurus must have stood a thousand miles high

That brontasaurus laying on its side up in the sky

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?

Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?

You should have been here last night

And heard what the big dipper said to me

Jack thought it twice and thought that that had made it true

Some brains just work that way, that's what chemicals can do

He thought he'd have a beer, he thought he was alone

He thought an Albertson's stir fry dinner would make his apartment a home

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?

Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?

You should have been here last night

And heard what the big dipper said to me

I thought I bored me but I learned to think like you

Now nothing bores me that's that nothing is thought through

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?

Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?

Thought it out and this time it's all I can see

You should have been here last night

And heard what the big dipper said
