Someone Hold My Hand

I just finished being sad again... Well this is what I thought of.


Lie Still Little Bottle -- by: They Might Be Giants

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


I NEED WATER. If you have some give me a call. Better yet, if you are leaving and taking it with you ... give me a call.
