They Might Be Giants - Lie Still, Little Bottle lyrics

rate me

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand

Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend

One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song

I know I must investigate

I hope that I can sing along

There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me

He said, "Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile"*

Well, I knew that pill was lying

Too gregarious, too nice

But as he walked I had to sing this twice

Lie still, little bottle

Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time

With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand

Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend

One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song

I know I must investigate

I hope that I can sing along

Lie still, little bottle

Lie still

Lie still, little bottle

Lie still

Lie still

Lie still
