Who’s Afraid of the Bath Songtext
von Speedy Ortiz

X was waiting for me in the service lot, like I thought
All night offering overkill, nothing I′d ever want
Had to type up in detail exactly what happened and where
In case things ever escalate
We need proof that he scared me

Hard to say what happens
But they keep on coming up with stories about our past
Though we share in none, don't know each other
I′m underwater and soundless
Never betray that I'm sinking down
Bathwater he threw me in
Facing facts, he's one of many

Don′t wear a ponytail
If you can′t help it, don't go alone
That clown doesn′t work here anymore
But there's no way to stop him
Coming out to the gig if he paid for a ticket tonight
Barks in my ear like an extinction burst
Ignore it, alright!


Hard to say what happens
But they keep on coming up with stories about our past
Though we share in none, don′t know each other
I'm underwater and soundless
Never betray that I′m sinking down
Bathwater he drew
Being honest, others draw it too

Please, speak only what's real to me
Or the static takes over
Z would hit their head on a cabinet
Wake up, ask me what I'd done
Calls came from different numbers
Faking like they were downstairs
Had to type up in detail exactly what happened and where

Hard to say what happens
But they keep on coming up with stories about our past
Though we share in none, don′t know each other
Taking the honest way out
All your projections are not about me
Wet, shivering
Wring me out, I′m not for pleasure
