Tripped Up Lyrics


Watercress Tripped Up

She taught me things you never could teach
Soul as white as a sunbleached piece of beach
Nose all punched up, face all scrunched up
Teeth all gunged up, beauty like I've never seen

Sleep becomes you, makes you, numbs you
Me sitting staring like I never heard a four letter word
Snap right out of it, long enough to doubt it
Now I'm talking numbers down a cable to another world

It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much
So I think we ought to do it alone

Tripped up again, can't remember when I fall
Suffer temporary loss of memo-rary
That's when I've got one at all
One thing on my mind to push me back in time
A musty glass of wine, the end of summertime
Turning the last bend, learning the fast way
It burns your itchy fingers if the flame's allowed to linger

It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much
So I think we ought to do it alone
But every now and then, it's good to have a friend
Who knows I'm a lost little soul

It's hard to keep in touch when it screws me up so much
So I think we ought to do it alone
But every now and then, it's good to have a friend
Who knows I'm a lost little soul
