"Shimmer"

(written by Kristin Hersh)

You in the water

Underneath the tarp

It don't rain under the water

It don't rain inside my heart

You walking in the gulf stream

Tail between your legs

It's not funny, if you ask me

It's just funny in your head

Hang on, hang on, hang on,

hang on, hang on, hang on

My tongue is filled with sugar

And my back is filled with pain

Your tongue is on my shoulder

And there's nothing on my brain

Don't follow me home

Don't follow me home

Shake barrels of whiskey down my throat,

I'll still see straight

Ride out on a pony, even loose, I won't be late

Hang on, hang on, hang on,

hang on, hang on, hang on

I'll ride on a pony 'til I'm dusty and I'm old

My head is filled with flowers

And I'm dressed in shiny gold

I'm dressed in shiny gold

Keep an eye on me, I shimmer on horizons

Keep an eye on me, I shimmer on horizons

I shimmer on horizons

I shimmer on horizons

I shimmer on horizons

I shimmer on horizons

A shimmer in your eye, son

A shimmer in your eye, son

A shimmer in your eye
