Close Your Eyes

Kristin Hersh

You can't make it

You can't cry

You can't make it home tonight

It's too far to walk

To your goddamn van

It's too hard to come by your hand



Drunk on nothing

Drunk all night

Mad at nothing close your eyes



You could run on iron lungs

It would not keep you clean

Run on iron lungs

It would not keep you sons of bitches clean



You think that they don't shatter you

You think that till they go

You think that they don't comfort you now go home



You can walk in moonlight

You can dance inside

You can dance in moonlight close your eyes



Stop you ruined all my memories

You ruined all my memories

I wanna catch the falling babies

I'm falling into you

My hair's in your face

Eyes on your eyes

Hands on my back I can't leave



A guy's asking questions about me

My hands are full of straw

I'm sliding really fast

My hands are full of snow

I don't understand puzzles

I can't breathe close your eyes
