"Bug"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

50 Foot Wave Version:
Come on, come on, play the goddamn music
I know we fell apart a while ago
And no, not everyone's alright
Walking bare-assed down the hallway
Is hard enough at night
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?
You have a stone-cold picture of a girlfriend
And a celibate wife
You're in no shape to argue
But you're ready for a fight
Come on, come on, wake me up, I'm sleeping
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?
What you want's not what you need
It haunts you night and day
I'll see you on the light side of
The darkness we are so scared of
I'll do the math for you
I'll keep it back for you
For what you chase at night
Will haunt you in the day
You want it to
Come on, come on, play the wounded hero
I'm hoping I'll grow sleepy and dim
One more somnambulistic year
Riding tethered to the hero
And rescuing him
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?

You're Soaking In It Version:
Come on, come on, play the goddamn music
I know we fell apart a while ago
And no, not everyone's alright
Walking bare-assed down the hallway
Is hard enough at night
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?
You have a stone-cold picture of a girlfriend
And a celibate wife
You're in no shape to argue
But you're ready for a fight
Come on, come on, wake me up, I'm sleeping
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?
What you want's not what you need
It haunts you, it'll make you pay
I'll see you on the light side of
The darkness that we keep at bay
I'll do the math for you
A dirty scheme in play
For what you chase at night
Will haunt you in the day
It'll make you pay
Come on, come on, play the wounded hero
I'm hoping I'll grow sleepy and dim
One more somnambulistic year
Riding tethered to the hero
And rescuing him
And you, don't you wanna do nothing?
And hey, didn't you say something's missing?
