Yo La Tengo

(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
