Tragically Hip - The Depression Suite lyrics
rate me<BR>
Under the pillow <br>
I bury my head and try to shut Chicago out <br>
As it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds <br>
of perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls <br>
<br>
all saying are you going through something? <br>
are you going through something? <br>
<br>
Under the pillow a little room to breathe <br>
the early morning light's a pale cranberry <br>
I hear the Aaa-aah-aah not-wow-wow <br>
of a siren faraway and closing steadily <br>
<br>
saying Are you going through something? <br>
Are you going through something? <br>
cuz I-I-I-I I am too <br>
<br>
Under the pillow <br>
I can hear you whisperin' are you going through something? <br>
<br>
well honey are you going through something? <br>
Are you going through something? <br>
Then I-I-I-I I am too <br>
Then I-I-I-I I am too <br>
<br>
Then I-I-I-I <br>
<br>
I am too <br>
<br>
Gimme gimme gimme gimme-gimme <br>
Gimme an opportunity gimme-gimme <br>
Put me put me put me put me-put me <br>
In the saddle I'll ride you'll see <br>
<br>
There's new work in the Day Room <br>
I can't lounge on-line <br>
Don't you laugh <br>
I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half <br>
Just to occupy my mind <br>
<br>
I'll be driven my eyes always moving <br>
I'll be riveted to the task yea <br>
No smiling! That's important <br>
I will make my face a mask <br>
<br>
And I'm thinking just in passing <br>
What if this song does nothing? <br>
What if this song does nothing <br>
<br>
Working in the new NewOrleansWorld <br>
I'm emptying slots working like a ghost <br>
I move through huge rooms with no windows <br>
And no Gulf of Mexico <br>
<br>
Gimmegimmegimme gimme-gimme <br>
Gimme an opportunity gimme-gimme <br>
Put me put me put me put me-put me <br>
In the saddle please <br>
<br>
I'll be driven my eyes always moving <br>
I'll be riveted to the task yea <br>
No smiling! That's so important <br>
I will make my face a mask <br>
<br>
And I'm thinking just in passing <br>
What if this song does nothing? <br>
What if this song does nothing? <br>
What if this song does nothing <br>
What if this song does nothing <br>
<br>
Bring on the requisite strangeness <br>
It always has to get a little weird a little weird <br>
Yea you just bring on the requisite strangeness <br>
Bring it on then disappear disappear <br>
Go to be a man of the boom <br>
To Florida without the ocean <br>
But <br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends? <br>
When the door is just starting to open? <br>
When Athabasca depends? <br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends <br>
<br>
I can hear you <br>
But I can't stay here <br>
You left me lost in the Barrens <br>
You left me born on the stairs <br>
It's minus 11 <br>
Inside my kettle <br>
I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens <br>
I didn't come to settle <br>
To be a man on the moon <br>
To get my little slice of heaven <br>
Yeah <br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends? <br>
When the door is just starting to open? <br>
And Athabasca depends <br>
Doncha wanna see how it ends <br>
<br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends? <br>
The door is just starting to open. <br>
Athabasca depends. <br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends? <br>
Yeah <br>
Don't you wanna see how it ends? <br>
I'm holding the door to the Barrens <br>
And Athabasca depends <br>
Doncha wanna see how it ends?<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
