Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

Wilderness

Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan

Transmission's shot, no back up plan

Will they hitch a ride

Or get into a fight?

Moved to the West Coast

Packed up their things

The winters are gray

Now so are the dreams

They tried to make it all right

All our little wishes have gone dry

Made it to the water, waded in the lies

When we felt the heat, couldn't turn it into fire

Too caught up in our own desires

Said, "I do" in the month of May

Said, "I don't" just the very next day

Will they try again?

Or is it doom for them?

Moved to a city

Where hippies run wild

Everything's white

Now so are the smiles

They tried to fight the good fight

All our little wishes have gone dry

Made it to the water, waded in the lies

When we felt the heat, couldn't turn it into fire

Too caught up in our own desires

We're split right in half

It's making me crazy

A two-headed brat

Tied to the other for ...

It's a family feud

The red and the blue now

It's truth against truth

I'll see you in hell, I don't mind

...

All our little wishes have gone dry

Made it to the water, waded in the lies

When we felt the heat, couldn't turn it into fire

Too caught up in our own desires
