"90-Mile Water Wall" lyrics
"90-Mile Water Wall"
Well, I know that you know
That you've become the target of this hand
With never even asking
Well, I know that you know
That you're the only thing that I can stand
So how could your hair
Have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing?
And how could the air
Have the nerve to blow your hair around like that?
I'm waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm looking for a trapdoor trigger
To drop me out of your view
Yes, I'm listening, I'm listening
I can tell that you are serious
You're looking for that hurt look around my mouth
The look of a steep fall, yeah, that's how Hersey put it
So you can make another claim
Well, go ahead and make it
So you can make another claim
Well, go ahead and make it
I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trapdoor trigger
I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trapdoor trigger
Yes, I'm listening
I can tell you're serious

She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own...
The Garden needs sorting out
She curls her lips on the bow

TV On The Radio - "Second Song" Confidence and ignorance approved me
Define my day today
I've tried so hard to shut it down, lock it up
Gently walk away

Modest Mouse - "Missed The Boat" While we're on the subject
Could we change the subject now?
I was knocking on your ear's door
But you were always out
Looking towards the future
We were begging for the past
Well, we knew we had the...
Elliott Smith - "Somebody That I Used To Know" I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
So, when I go home I'll be happy to go
You're just somebody that I used to know
You don't need my help anymore...
