"Flipside"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

There's always drooling zombies
Or at least one dick
I'm having trouble focusing
'Cause all I see in front of me
Is you when we're finally alone
He was the bone king
Dead to all the world
Maybe dead's like being really high without the low
But I enjoy the hangovers here
I could see them on the flipside of a molecule but
I have all the energy I can take for now
Holy floating, we're
Holy floating
Holy floating
Holy shit, I think I'd rather be on the ground than flying
We're still fucking up in a healthy way for now
How dare you save my life, then try to break my heart?
You make alone so goddamn lonely
Makes me wanna fall in love with everything
And float above the ground
These days I do the same things
Commit the same damn crime
If I'm not feeling out the flipside
Maybe I'm supposed to be here
Maybe you're supposed to be here too
I could see them on the flipside of a molecule but
I have all the energy I can take for now
Holy floating, we're
Holy floating
Holy floating
Holy shit, I think I'd rather be on the ground than flying
We're still fucking up in a healthy way for now
And my feet don't touch the ground

WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
- "This is my 'Yay, I'm not dead!' song. I'm 34, the age when dead people in your life start piling up. Someone really important to me had just died and I never told her how important she was. There's hope here. The sweetness of life is never as sweet as syrup; otherwise we'd be numb to it."

Fireworks for you in the ozone snow.
