Not Too Soon - Throwing Muses
She colorblind tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him; likes it that way
He's just a walker, and he'll never stop walking away
It's not too soon, he said; you know it's not too soon at all
And you might as well be dead, he said
If you're afraid to fall,
I said, I know her
She said, oh, my, why do you stare so hard?
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver
It's not too soon, he said; you know it's not too soon at all
And you might as well be dead, he said
If you're afraid to fall,
I said, I know her
The last time I saw you, you were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face, I watched you fall apart
It's not too soon, he said; it's not too soon at all
And you might as well be dead, he said
If you're afraid to fall,
I said
Done your time, been in your place
I couldn't look you in the face
and tell you that it turns me on
it makes my stomach turn
I know
I know her
