"Stand Up"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

EP Version:
And a night
Frightening dark and it was light
A big tree branches and
I was dancing
I'm straining
My broken neck and walking fast
Look at my glasses, then
Look at her shoes
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I stand)
I wish you were a house to me
Frightening light so
Keep it dark
Keep your lights low, so
I can't see inside
She runs to the big people
But listen to me
I - I don’t
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I fall)
And look
What does she put on now every day?
Do you all love her more than me?
All day long
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I scream)

Album Version:
And a night
Frightening dark and it was light
A big tree branches and
I was dancing
I'm straining
My broken neck and walking fast
Look at my glasses, then
Look at her shoes
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I stand)
I wish you were a house to me
Frightening light, so
Keep it dark
Keep your lights low, so
I can't see inside
She runs to the big people
But listen to me
I - I don’t
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I fall)
And look
What does she put on now, every day?
Do you all love her more than me?
All night long
Rent, go, ob, ed, a, no, face, way, shoes, jealous, fuck you, stand up
(And I scream)
