Severed Lips (J. Mascis)





I wanna help you.

I sense you're riding pretty low

I got the feeling

When your hair hits the ceiling

And there's something babe

You oughta know

I won't cry if you won't buy

But if were both kinda stumbling

Maybe I'll say "Hi"

That's my best

I never try that much

'Cos I'm scared of feeling that healing touch

You gotta get through my maze, and passively test

'Cos I'm choosing one love to

Tattoo across my chest



You know, the time has come

I ain't gonna fester no more

Let the world be free of my disease

I never knew a rubber doll

Would be so hard to please

Now I'm reachin out

One last burst before I retract

No one will know until I finally let go

Of the one thing I ain't gonna never get back



I wanna help you

Baby, can't you see?

You're better than my pillow

'Cos you don't stain so easily, oh no

You know it's hard just to finally let go

And leave all the pictures behind

Hope I brought you some happiness

I believe I just had to get on

It just wasn't the world I was hoping to find...
