"No Parachutes"
(written by Kristin Hersh)
Pushing a ribcage
Makes it hard to breathe
And yet we hold our sweaty hands
Year after year
Some new year
Without music
in our head
Newspaper tenament coming up dead
So
my parachute is hanging around
I guess I bust it on the ground
Nothing helps me fall
Nothing helps me float
Today
I want to walk away
Pushing a ribcage
Makes it hard
to breathe
And yet we whisper in the dark
Year after
year
Some new year
Without newness in our head
Newspaper tenament coming up dead
So my parachute is hanging
around
I guess I bust it on the ground
Nothing helps
me fall
Nothing helps me float
Today I want to walk
away
