"Your Dirty Answer"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

You know how it feels when the real world encroaches
Rubbing elbows with the unemployed and you
You're so beautiful, you're so rude
Peeling mangoes on a fold-out couch
I'm scooped out
You're inscrutable, you're all mine
Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer?
What's your dirty answer?
What's your dirty answer?
My fantasies are unlived histories
You know what it's like when mistakes go unmade
It was beautiful
It was you
I'm giving up the ugly I thought you'd make pretty
I'll be goddamned
This is beautiful
Hold my hand
Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer?
What's your dirty answer?
What's your dirty answer?
I don't judge people I just watch them 'til it's time to look away
I wanna look away now
Somebody's coming
I don't wanna live backward, I don't wanna even look backward
It's not my fault
It's not my fault you don't love me
It's not my fault
It's not my fault you don't love me when I'm drunk
I'm wiped
I'm so tired
I, I'm so tired
Carry me for a little while
Carry me for a little while
Carry me for a little while
Carry me for a little while
(Carry me, carry me...)

WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
- "This song asks the question, what do you do when your vices are no longer sins?"

Fireworks for you in the ozone snow.
