Bob Mould - Slay/Sway lyrics
[Bob Mould - Slay/Sway lyrics]
How long have you lived in a dead
End town where there's nothing around you
But an empty garage full of nothing to do
It was fun to have a few friends over
And maybe they'll bring some friends
It'll be the time when your family leaves
Maybe they'll leave for good
It blurred the lines between
A CD-ROM and reality
But it was clear who was
Taking over the world
It wasn't going to be me
And all the forbidden thoughts came rushing
Out as one long night
The wind moaned through the broken window
I couldn't see where it was coming from
And then I'm stuck in a room
The Sex Pistols began to play
It was terribly lame in a predictable way
Someone plugged up the tub and the
Black crud started to come alive
Somebody shook my hand and they
Went at it again
A monkey shot in the mouth
I changed the view on the lens
I watched them do it again
And it was two against one
And one by one, my family came home
I tried to stall them and keep them away
From the place where all of this happened
I needed time to clean it all up
And I ran for the armory
I said he works for the man
Who tried to conquer the world
I felt bad that I said he
Used to be an acquaintance
And everyone stood there and laughed at him
I turned and ran away
The dog was dragging me up the stairs
Around the fallen doors and garbage
And broke away off the leash
I couldn't keep up
And then I got to the top
The dog was three steps away
The second step was missing
And I said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
But it was way too late
End town where there's nothing around you
But an empty garage full of nothing to do
It was fun to have a few friends over
And maybe they'll bring some friends
It'll be the time when your family leaves
Maybe they'll leave for good
It blurred the lines between
A CD-ROM and reality
But it was clear who was
Taking over the world
It wasn't going to be me
And all the forbidden thoughts came rushing
Out as one long night
The wind moaned through the broken window
I couldn't see where it was coming from
And then I'm stuck in a room
The Sex Pistols began to play
It was terribly lame in a predictable way
Someone plugged up the tub and the
Black crud started to come alive
Somebody shook my hand and they
Went at it again
A monkey shot in the mouth
I changed the view on the lens
I watched them do it again
And it was two against one
And one by one, my family came home
I tried to stall them and keep them away
From the place where all of this happened
I needed time to clean it all up
And I ran for the armory
I said he works for the man
Who tried to conquer the world
I felt bad that I said he
Used to be an acquaintance
And everyone stood there and laughed at him
I turned and ran away
The dog was dragging me up the stairs
Around the fallen doors and garbage
And broke away off the leash

And then I got to the top
The dog was three steps away

And I said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
But it was way too late
