Know Your Onion!-The Shins

[00:08.72]Shut out, pimpled and angry. [00:14.02]I quietly tied all my guts into knots. [00:17.84]Gave up on trying to make them, [00:21.39]I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides... [00:26.17]It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why [00:30.71]When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters [00:37.42]I knew what worthless dregs we've always been. [00:40.51]Lucked out and found my favorite records [00:43.42]Lying in wait at the birmingham mall. [00:46.39]The songs that i heard, [00:49.67]The occasional book [00:51.14]Were the only fun i ever took. [00:55.60]And i got on with making myself. [01:02.79]The trick is just making yourself. [01:16.48]But when they're parking their cars on your chest [01:19.55]You've still got a view of the summer sky [01:23.66]To make it hurt twice when your restless body [01:27.12]Caves to its whims [01:31.53]And suddenly struggles to take flight... [01:39.16]Three thousand miles north east [01:45.03]I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads. [01:49.84]"what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love." [01:53.11]Yes i know but i must say in my own defense [01:57.64]It's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why [02:02.48]When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters [02:07.30]I knew the worthless dregs we are, [02:11.21]The selfless, loving saints we are, [02:14.57]The melting, sliding dice we've always been.
