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