Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

Some Catch Flies

When he stares, it's like he's splitting hairs

I'm a wreck when he's here, I swear

Fill a glass up with shiny tacks

I'm feeling sharp

I am numb

When he drools, it's like he's spitting jewels

I'm alone when he's here, I am

What a dumb-ass thing to say

plus I'm not ashamed

Nobody's here

I am clean

He's my gold

Tangle till we're old, he's my distraction, and how

Simple gold, and no one has to know

It's hectic as hell

I play dumb

A sideways look, a lighter in the dark

You make it good, you do

Some catch flies, some kill them till they die

I just stare

I do love you
