straight down to the bitter end

Yo La Tengo

People say that once you dyed your hair
You started showing up everywhere
Well you re standing tall, and you ve got nothing at all
So you grab at everything you see Now the world keeps spinning when you die
While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They ll be sighing after normal sights Drags up baggage, pretend to read
Demand the pages that you ll never redo
Sun sets down on your skittish heart
Cedar mile, how it s coming apart Now the world keeps spinning when you die
While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They ll be sighing after normal fights Pickled eels, lemon peels
Hired hand picks you something new
Rainbow nights, stunning whites
Stars that shine but don t belong to you
The passive fools by the swimming pool
You ll fit right in with their pathetic grins
Stunning tricks, bottomless pits
You remind me where I don t want to be While the lights keep flashing in the sky
They ll be sighing after normal sights
Now the world keeps spinning when you die
