I went out and felt the sun on my face,
then i turned on my leg and now i’m back in a cave,
there’s a moment of peace that i just can’t recreate,
i need sleep but my brain won’t get tired,
i smell like smoke from electrical wires,don’t touch me, i’ve got crossed wires, crossed wires,
keep your fingers free from these crossed wires, crossed wires,on a day like this we should be out on the road,
the sky’s so clear, and the air’s so cold,
there’s blankets in the back,
bundle up my little urchin (?),
cause we never got the heat working,
no, we never got the heat working,now you don’t touch me, i’ve got crossed wires, crossed wires,
keep your fingers free from these crossed wires, crossed wires,collecting the notes you slipped under the door,
i go blank when i try to remember what we were good for,
and i’m cracked, and i’m crossed, and it’s nowhere to be,
let’s just get lost, maybe it’ll come back to me, come back to me,now you can’t touch me, i’ve got crossed wires, crossed wires,
keep your fingers free from these crossed wires, crossed wires,
i smell like smoke from electrical fires,
oh i’ve got crossed wires.
crossed wires – superchunk
