(Straight Down to The) Bitter End - Yo La Tengo

People say that once you dyed your hair

You started showing up everywhere

Well you’re standing tall, and you’ve got nothing at all

So you grab at everything you see

Now the world keeps spinning when you die

While the lights keep flashing in the sky

They’ll be sighing after normal sights

Drags up baggage, pretend to read

Demand the pages that you’ll never redo

Sun sets down on your skittish heart

Cedar mile, how it’s coming apart

Now the world keeps spinning when you die

While the lights keep flashing in the sky

They’ll be sighing after normal fights

Pickled eels, lemon peels

Hired hand picks you something new

Rainbow nights, stunning whites

Stars that shine but don’t belong to you

The passive fools by the swimming pool

You’ll fit right in with their pathetic grins

Stunning tricks, bottomless pits

You remind me where I don’t want to be

While the lights keep flashing in the sky

They’ll be sighing after normal sights

Now the world keeps spinning when you die
