Every Little Bit Hurts

from It Was Easy by Title Tracks

/

lyrics

I work in the water
Down underneath the flowers
Now, do you count the hours down, too?

Life is not a dream to me
It’s a sour melody
If one and one don’t make two

The paper chase can lead me back
If I’m on the devil’s track
And shaking from the ice on the moon
I know there’s not water there
But I wound up working where bombs block out the afternoon

Yeah, every little bit hurts
I don’t want it to
I don’t want it to, but it does

The taste of it is in the air
It’s indiscreet, it’s everywhere
It only needs to know what to do
Photograph the masks we wear
I don’t even care ‘cause we’re gilding the buildings we grew

Spring brings everything, I find I want to sing
The phases of places we knew
Please give me galaxies, spare me ataxy
I don’t want to know what you’ve been through

Yeah, every little bit hurts
I don’t want it to
I don’t want it to, but it does

Oh, the damage you can do
When my neck’s exposed to you
The heat that you feel when your fiction is real cannot turn me ‘round

Oh, it’s gonna be so good
When you ask me if we could
Try it again, come on let’s all be friends like we never were
No, we never were

Pretty genes can make pretty green
If the vessel wears the right shoes
Surly jerks play their early works
But they don’t have a face they can use

It’s an exhibition of pitiless precision
Removing the blades of a fan
The spinning center’s a hapless dissenter
You can’t tell the time without my hands

Yeah, every little bit hurts
I don’t want it to
I don’t want it to, but it does
