Silver Spring Songtext
von Speedy Ortiz

Show me mine, I′ll show you yours
I'm discoverin′
Everybody's got bed sores
Bad or betterin'
Clean the skin or scratch it off
There′s no salvagin′
That skin suffering from the rot

In a cave with shallow babes
Actin' shallower
Got so sick of moons and waves
Want something muddier
Legs tight squeezed around the knees
Guess I′m going nowhere
Why you wanna pull me out?


Hack up my thighs, you'll never drag me out alive
Stuck between a rock, and another rock that′s bigger
And though you look nice, I'm staying trapped in this vice
Staring up at the mouth of the cave
Up at the mouth of the cave
Up at the mouth of the cave

Was this not the favorite place of other pioneers?
Crazy is as crazy says
I′m not crazy here
For you, or am I just bored?
Staring into an unknown dark
Crazy is, now crazy talks

Hack up my thighs, you'll never drag me out alive
Stuck between a rock and another rock that's bigger
And though you look nice, I′m staying trapped in this vice
Staring up at the mouth of the cave
Up at the mouth of the cave
Up at the mouth of the cave

You look nice, but I′m gonna take my own advice
Staring up at the mouth of the cave
