The Best Of Jill Hives [Live]

Lyrics:

Click to view larger

Paid up weathered and type-o, 
clad in gladstone watch him go, 
swimming beneath the microscope. 
hello lonely bless the nation. 
mr. skip to all or none, 
wooden soldiers fall upon, 
try to find what makes her tick, 
while their finding out what makes them sick.

been around and left you flat, 
tragically decided that, 
every child of god's a brat, 
and shes dying to escape them. 
but do we really need to see, 
all her punchdrunk history, 
and which of it might hold the key 
for the exit to her destiny.

i dont know where you find your nerve, 
i dont know how you choose your words, 
speak the ones that suit you worse, 
keep you grounded, sad and cursed, 
circle the ones that come alive, 
save them for the best of jill hives. 
number one in all our souls, 
trifle in the crystal bowl, 
fill it up with 9 to 5, 
save them for the best of jill hives.
