"Snailhead"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Is it enough to grow old?
Is there enough to go around?
To have a box in my snailhead?
I don't know
Is there enough to grow old?
Is it enough to have a box in my snailhead?
I don't know
What are you do?
Oh...
Is it enough to grow old?
Is there enough to go around?
To have a box in my snailhead?
I don't know
Is there enough to grow old?
Is it enough to have a box in my snailhead?
I don't know
What are you do?
And a diamond growing old under the ocean
That's as black as where you came from,
Black as rocks, as the box inside your head
What do they do, where is the ocean so black?
Don't say the circle's broken,
And the diamond, smoke
What did they do, where can they run?
What did they break?
The fucking spiral was a circle
We are gone, what did they do?
What will we do?
What can I do?
What have you done?
Oh...
Spot on the sun
Where have you gone?
What have I done?
Diamonds, rocks as black as box and smoke
The spiral was a circle
And I was broken, box inside the ocean
What did they do?
What will we do?
What can I do?
What have I done?
