WORDS FROM KRISTIN:
"Do you know what key that's in? That's in the key of dogs and god."

"Cry Baby Cry"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

I, I, I wanna cry
On a roof, on a roof
I, I, I, the third time
You will lose, you will lose
He move me, and the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after...
I said our nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and Coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching like spacemen
I'm obviously confused, I said
I'm more, more worried for you than for me
And he yelled
Cry baby, cry
Cry, fight it
I'm not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker
Love that person who laugh at me
I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
That's how come I wore raincoats
I said "first a suicide without a note
And now a note without a suicide
First a look without a note
And now a look without a suicide"
She said "maybe death is my answer
But love is the answer of life"
He move me, and the chains changed
I take a nervous face
Month after month after more
Mouth after mouth after...
I said our nightmare
Complete with barking dogs and Coke machines
Keep feeling like a baby chicken
Keep touching like spacemen
Cry baby, cry, cry
I fight it
I'm not ever getting out
I'm always getting sicker, sicker
I found last September in a notebook
It was too much for the book to hold
I lean on songs
She said "first a suicide without a note
And now a look without a suicide"
I said "maybe death is my answer
But love is the answer of life"

Don't worry, dance in the road.
