Forget the Swan Songtext
von Dinosaur Jr.

It's floating through the abyss.
Under the brig, my head swings down.
Beware her wrath, the image gone.
The shell is crumbling, fix my frown.

This spell would be clear in non-tradition,
And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk.
And rape goes through to sin my eyes,
And shapes know where the heartache will lurk.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.


Drifting among this rubble,
I guess the waiting wished I would.
I found a box, untethered and true,
Possession it understood.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

How I tried to warn my neighbor, but the corn was much too high.
In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day,
But it's not too late, brother, I'll still say you were mine.

Forget the swan, a stone swims near.
A stone has come, if I could cheer.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.

Forget the swan, the dreams are gone.
The pain goes on, they fly at dawn.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.
Forget the swan, forget the swan.
