WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"This is one of the first songs that I wrote for the new Muses record. It was then I realized what kind of record it was going to be -- I got very excited."

"Civil Disobedience"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Lie down, don't move
Quiet, you
Sick with amazement, I'm soaking and broke
Here's a big, fat aspirin, maybe you'll choke
That's not funny
Get me into your club
Get me off your hook
I wanna get excited, I wanna be your slave
Ignorance is happiness unless you get paid
And times never change, I'm running out of days...
But we could always run away-ay and
Mm, you could always run away-ay with me
Yeah we could always run away-ay and
Mm, you could always run away-ay with me
Run away-ay, way-ay
Run away
I don't like you any more than you know
I still like you too much
This city's insane
These people are crazy
You can buy me breakfast
And then find me a coat
Back in that apartment
I saw too many ghosts to go home
This bread is old
My coffee's cold
We live on toast & coffee
We live on bread & water
We live on coke & pretzels
We live on bread & water
Times never change, I'm running out of days...
But we could always run away-ay and
Mm, you could always run away-ay with me
Yeah we could always run away-ay and
Mm, you could always run away-ay with me
Run away-ay, way-ay
Run away
I don't like you any more than you know
I still like you too much

Don't worry, dance in the road.
