WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
""Rabbit's Dying" is about lean-to's, I think. How danger and rain keep you safe and dry."

"Rabbit's Dying"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

He's running home again
He's running in the rain
Covering the brain
I'll stay in, stay in
It rains
It's walking on the trail
Crawling on the trail
Its legs are giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time, know it knows time
The rabbit's dying
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't save the brain
Look up, look up
Can't see the rabbit lying
The rabbit's dying
Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more, I know it
He's watching time
He's watching, marching to his end
He knows time, he sees it
Know it, know it, know it
Oh, follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more, I know it
I know it, I know it, I know it
Ahh, he's watching time, he's running blind
He's marching slower, slower, slower, slower
Can't feel the rain, he feels time
Don't run blind, the rabbit's dying
Look up, look up!
Follow me home
To a lean-to, to a lean-to, to a lean-to
I don't have legs no more, I know it
He's crawling on the trail
Lying on the trail
Giving out, giving up
It knows time, it sees it
Know it knows time
Stay in, stay in
It rains
Can't feel the rain
He feels time
Don't run blind
Don't swallow the pain
Don't spare the brain
Look up, look up

Don't worry, dance in the road.
