Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

Was It a Lie?

The yard was cold and dark

The tracks are clearly marked

But she was tired, she didn't see

She was just out alone

She wasn't going home

She was going somewhere far away

The train was moving through

As we know that world has to do

Everyone will say it was her fault

Somewhere a camera placed

Inside this awful place

The accident is about to start

Was it a lie? Was it a lie?

Did it fill your head?

Did it entertain?

Will you feel alive

At the end of it?

When the collision came

She died right away

Her body flung almost sixty feet

And as she split in two

Was she coming straight for you

And do you have a camera for a face?

Was she your TV show?

Was she your video?

A woman's pain, never private always seen

I want to close my eyes

I want to cut the wires

I want a day not made for you to see

Was it a lie? Was it a lie?

Did it fill your head?

Did it entertain?

Will you feel alive

At the end of it?

When you play it back to me

Feels more like a parody

Now it's all I will ever be

Now it's all I will ever be

I really don't care about it

I don't care if it's cold

Really want to be

The prettiest wreck you've seen

Did it fill your head?

Did it entertain?

Will you feel alive

At the end of it?
