"Speed And Sleep"

(written by Kristin Hersh)

Speed and sleep

Was a man, took a hand, cleared the ground

Dug a hole we called home

We sprawled here eleven years, 44 seasons

Came unstuck, and it stung

Unstuckness flew me

Through the air

Whispered in my ear

This is chaos

And it stings

Tiny strings across the United States

Run from you to me and everyone we ever breathed with

I don't care if you're sad

I don't care if your heart is broken

You soothe me and you turn me on

Speed and sleep...

I lock the dogs in the car

And cut across the parking lot

I'm far away today

I might as well not be

You quit making mistakes, I might not leave

You quit making mistakes, I might just stay
