Your Dirty Answer

Kristin Hersh

You know how it feels when the real world encroaches

Rubbing elbows with the unemployed and you

You're so beautiful

You're so rude

Peeling mangos on a fold out couch

I'm scooped out

You're inscrutable

You're all mine



Swimming is a 'lude

Wine opens your mind

Your guitar's a race car

Sex is your best friend

What's your dirty answer?



My fantasies are unloved histories

You know what it's like when mistakes go unmade

It was beautiful

It was you

I'm giving up the ugly

I thought you'd make pretty

I'll be goddamned

This is beautiful

Hold my hand



Swimming is a 'lude

Wine opens your mind

Your guitar's a race car

Sex is your best friend

What's your dirty answer ?



I don't judge people

I just watch them 'til it's time to look away

I want to look away now

Somebody's coming

I don't want to look backwards,

I don't want to even look backwards

It's not my fault

It's not my fault you don't love me

It's not my fault you don't love me

When I'm drunk



I'm wiped

I'm so tired



Carry me for a little while
