37 Hours, lyric by Kristin Hersh

from the songs album Sunny Border Blue

By now, i should know where you're going
By now i should but i don't
You're better off wherever you are off to
Agile or stoned

By now, i should wake you when i'm hungry
Right now i should but i'm not
We could be a silkworm tightrope
We could but we're not

I don't want this to be over
You're what i do
Every day the only thing
That makes any sense
Your liver twisting logic's
Far and away the smartest thing

I don't know where i am
Plus i don't know when i am
'cause you insist on using fucked up military time
'cause you are better off alone

I've been right here for 37 hours

I dropped a cigarette in my shoe
And dove in the water
Then i swam until my hair dreaded
Like flying on fire

That day i quit smoking and swimming
I heard some advice from above
Ducking under cramming it in
Isn't falling in love

I don't want this to be over
You're what i do
Everyday the only thing
That makes any sense
Your lover twister logic
Far and away the smartest thing

I don't know where i am
Plus i don't know when i am
'cause you insist on using fucked up military time
'cause you are better off alone

I've been right here for 37 hours
