Lyrics Kristin Hersh

Kristin Hersh

White Suckers

We were awake together all night long

Sharing paraphernalia 'til dawn

You didn't disappoint me, not at all

You never disappoint me

You lubricate the morning

Shining and yawning

You were nice but twisted this same old story

We were a match made in purgatory

You didn't disappoint me totally

You never disappoint me

You animate the morning

Shining and yawning

You come off like a distant moth aimless and driven

Yet you seem to be living it up walking around

In your busted shoes like you've got nothing better to do

I don't like what I was, I don't know what I've become

But shaken out of my pallor I'm filled up

You didn't disappoint me, not once

You never disappoint me

You mutilate the morning

Shining and yawning

You run by like a spazzing fly, shameless and smiling

Yeah, you seem to be living it up, driving around

In your souped-up jeep like you've got somewhere better to be
