Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

Srb

Head first into the head board

I'm shatter proof

The cranial impact

Taps something true

If i could grab your attention

With my styrofoam rattle box

You'd smile away my transgression

And tap something lost

A spitball to the ribcage

My useless heart hit

We're slap happy the livelong day

Neck and neck

If I could grab the man on a street

With my raspy rattled plan

My only personal property

A raspy whispered plan

A bottle green sky

Stinging yellow hair

In a dizzy of deviation

Giddy in the glare

If I could grab this whirligig

And keep it in my arms

We'd persevere through what is here

And mourn what is gone

A smoker's gift

And a child's hell

Cut through the air

Drown out all other sound
