Speedy Ortiz - Silver Spring Lyrics






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
Acting 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

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

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

    I'm detoxing from heroin and between the puking and inability to do more than turn myself over this song really makes me feel a lot better.

    Been my favorite song for months!!

    great song. sounds a lot like tracy bonham, not just the chorus vocals, but the particular hooks and breaks they're employing. still great tho. if you like this be sure to check out tracy bonham's 'the burdens of being upright' (1996).
