Jandek - In The Cave lyrics
rate meAll day long we knew we were playing with fire
We could tell by the burn marks
All day we was inside the cave
We was playing with fire
What else happened, we didn't know
We paid
We surely did pay
I'm gonna get out of it
By going into it more
I'm gonna get out of it
Yes I am
And I'm gonna go into it more, too
What have I got to lose?
Not much
I'm gonna get out of it
By going into it more
But I got my stopwatch
I see time ticking
I see the numbers change
And then you get in the rhythm
You get to know a Monday
You get to know a Sunday
And the water
Yeah and the creaking grind
All that black water
Gets into your skin
Makes you want to forget
Some of those days
But I'll meet you on a Sunday
I'll meet you on a Tuesday
I'll meet you any any any any any day
But who wants to go down fast?
I just want to stay alive
We were into the cave
Playin' with fire all day
It cost a lot
They took it real fast
All of a sudden you turn around and say hey
I need to exercise
Hey, I need to stretch me
