Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

Shotgun

I called shotgun

Our car submerged

Your breakneck speed slowed to a float

Out on a thalidomide limb

Truncated

Stiff as a board

But delinquent no more

Can’t see the fog for the trees

I lost my way on reject beach

Lost my heart

Lost it

You can’t live until you die

You can’t see unless you’re blind

I called shotgun

Our car submerged

Your breakneck speed slowed

Two afloat
