They Might Be Giants - Lie Still, Little Bottle lyrics

[They Might Be Giants - Lie Still, Little Bottle lyrics]

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
