Peter Buck - So Fast, So Numb lyrics

[Verse 1] You're moving through rough waters Motel boy And swimming in your sleep How could I be so blind, mis-sighted Not to see there's something wounded deep Anyone could scratch your surface now It's all amphetamine You're blasting yourself into the present To blur some past indignity, say that [Pre-Chorus] You say that You hate it You want to re-create it [Chorus] I've been around, I've been your lover I let it go at k** Devil Hills You're coming onto something so fast, so numb That you can't even feel [Verse 2] You're drinking raw adrenal baby And do-si-do, saddo You're eating cartilage, shark-eyes, shark-heart All present tense Boy, your blood is running cold Listen! This is now, this is here This is me, this is what I wanted You to see That was then, that was that That is gone, that is past You cast yourself, cast Pa**ed by, thrown down fast, you say [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] You love it You hate it You want to re-create it Now! This is here, this is me This is what I wanted you to see That was then, that was that That is gone, that is what I wanted you to feel [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus][x3]
