Static Songtext
von Jawbox

I sunk my eyes in static
Who taught me how to see it
Now there′s no sign of her at hand
So I'm through looking at it
My head is splitting trying
To read the name that she abandoned

Congratulations, sister
You put yourself right over
Though you don′t think I understand
This sudden awkward rupture
This shotgun hit and fissure
No love could possibly withstand

I'd never say
It didn't mean that much to me
Glad anyway
To see you straggle free


Pinned down but unexamined
Hope you keep right on looking
At static there behind my eyes
Keep pushing one-way vision
I guess at least it′s something
Since everything′s so compromised

I'd never say
It didn′t mean that much to me
Glad anyway
To see you straggle free

Pinned down
Left unexamined
Hope you keep right on looking

As I'm going on
Disillude, blank stare
Recycling
Disillude, blank stare
Recycling
