WOJCIK lyrics
SMOKE
And I dreamt of you in bed
Saw the smoke swirl ‘round your head
Your back was to me
I could smell, I could smell your cigarette
And the smoke hanging mid-air
Hard to distinguish from your hair
Hard to distinguish and you’re staring at the wall
Oh, staring at the wall
Hold my breath
Hold my teeth in your neck
So you won’t run away
Hold you down
Hold you ‘til I surround you
And you won’t go nowhere
You said you liked the photograph of me
Standing in the rain with a shotgun
You said you liked the photograph of me
So then why’d you kiss me and run?
Oh, kiss me and run
Hold my breath
Hold my teeth in your neck
So you won’t run away
Hold you down
Hold you ‘til I surround you
And you won’t go nowhere
And I woke to a birthday balloon
Popping outside my window
Like a shotgun
Like a new day dawning
And you’re somewhere in Midtown in her arms
OFF YOUR MEDS
I believed what you said
When you were off your meds
We both lived in our heads
Nothing was gray
It was all black and white
Either wrong or it’s right
Oh, but now I don’t buy a word you say
And I hate to say
That I liked you that way
You said you were my friend
But now you’re just another one of them
Them! Them! Them!
TINY MUSSELS
There’s a thousand tiny mussels
Clinging to your body
You steely, hollow vessel
Floating through the party
And people are parting like the sea
When they see you
Gushing, just busting at the seams
The way it seems some people do
But have I got plans when it’s my turn
I’ll be warming my hands on the bridges I burn
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn
And they bow like dandelions in your wake
I guess there ain’t no limit to the shit some people take
But it’s not exactly opaque what they see in you
Hoping scraps slide from your plate the minute you’re through
But I hope they’ll wait and wait and wait until they turn blue
But have I got plans when it’s my turn
I’ll be warming my hands on the bridges I burn
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn
Warming my hands on the bridges I burn
And just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water
I bust a vein
And the sharks are circling around me again
Splashing and laughing and pulling out all of the thread
The sky is falling
They’re trying to kill ginger
And I’m seeing red
There’s a thousand tiny mussels
Clinging to your body
You steely, hollow vessel
Floating through the party
And people are parting like the sea
(People are parting like the sea)
People are parting like the sea
(People are parting like the sea)
People are parting like the sea
When they see you
