- Shins - KNOW YOUR ONION Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- shut out, pimpled and angry,
- i quietly tied all my guts into knots.
- gave up on trying to make them,
- i figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...
- it was undeniably clear to me i don't know why
- when every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
- i knew what worthless dregs we all are then.
- lucked out found my favorite records
- lying in wait at the birmingham mall.
- the songs that i heard,
- the occasional book
- were the only fun i ever took.
- and i got on with making myself.
- the trick is just making yourself.
- but when they're parking their cars on your chest
- you've still got a view of the summer sky
- to make it hurt twice when your restless body
- caves to its whims
- and suddenly struggles to take flight...
- three thousand miles north east
- i left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads.
- "what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love."
- yes i know but i must say in my own defense
- it's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why
- when every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
- i knew the worthless dregs we are,
- the selfless, loving saints we are,
- the melting, sliding dice we've always been.
