Titus Andronicus - Arms Against Atrophy lyrics

A band trip dance - what could be the harm
But a six week vacation from the
Use of my right arm
It was just the two hit's
I remember nothing more
Only Alex hitting the switch and
Me hitting the floor
We're taking this lying down
The one thing I can stand up for
Is resting supine on the ground
Mr mcDermott, won't you help me to my feet
Because the drumline's going wild in
The San Francisco streets

The long walk home, is an hour and a half
But it quickly turns to three or
Four with stops at every underpass
But by June 22nd, I have done the math
That's a hundred and five liters
I'll consume of Dr path
Some girls will tell their secrets to anyone


The word "love" gets thrown around
A lot near graduation so please
Don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear
When the sound of shredding vocal chords
Is what I want to hear
Because we're going to San
Francisco and I forget
To wear some flowers in my hair

She's got a secret surname that nobody
Knows with the most gorgeous hyphen
You wouldn't believe the way it glows
And I'm the only one who gets
To see it way up close
So the rest of you can stick it up your nose

Last night, i had the strangest dream that
I have ever known
My mother, in a fit of rage
Chases me from our home my mother
The murderer holds me down in the road
She's got the nail clippers at my throat
Even though things lately may
Have been real horror-show
I'm wishing I was back in-utero
I'd like to go back to the
Way that things were before, but apparently
I'm looking at physical therapy
It won't be exactly how it used to be
It ain't hard to see that it's not that way
Not that way anymore
Jesus Christ is suffering upon
His cross tonight
I just sit outside waiting for frost to bite
"It's always this way
" she says on her way out the door
Wait and see
The rest is yet to reveal it'self to me
