 WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"It sounds kind of dreamlike. I started out writing from dreams when I was very young, because that's an easy route to the unconscious. But it doesn't discern between the collective unconscious and the personal unconscious, so you could be really into a song that speaks to you, but to nobody else, if you go that route. I find its better to keep your dreams and empty out every bit of psycho garbage you've got to carry around with you, and then you can hear songs. By the time I wrote "Two Step" I wasn't writing from dreams anymore, but it's a very similar state to be in – to be overdosed on sleeping!"

"Two Step"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Two step behind the rest
One fingertip too long
A hole, a hole in the box they carry
Pours sugar in the road
A hole
Pour dimes in Diamond Jim
Two months to fill him in
Two step behind the rest
One fingertip too long
A hole, a hole in the box they carry
Spills sugar in the road
A hole
A hole
A hole (a hole)
A hole
A hole
A hole
A hole
A hole

Don't worry, dance in the road.
