Day glo

Kristin Hersh


Up this way down under the ocean
Tumbled in anger by angry water
Getting up is what hurts

In the bath tub again watching the water drain
Twisted in slow-mo by angry water
Getting up is what hurts
Getting up is what hurts

Then you melt into the background
(day glo)
Then you melt into the background
(day glo)
Adding injury to your insult

This isn't drowning
This isn't anything
My silver lining
This isn't anything
Getting up is what hurts
Getting up is what hurts

Then you melt into the background
(day glo)
Then you melt into the background
(day glo)
Adding injury to your insult

You apply your "me repellant"
I've lost everything
You self sabotage machine
Have you ever been mellow

When there's only enough drink to go around once
To the left a shadow falls you look up
Have you ever been mellow
