Torque Songtext
von Kristin Hersh

my lip gloss froze off
outside the airport
on a hard bench
beside a dingy Santa
i searched every face


what are you?
animated soft tissue
shifting neuropeptides
a social pyromaniac
a plate spinner

and it′s smoky around you
i can hardly breathe

i watched your eyes go dark
i saw them look blank
i wasn't there
i saw it in pictures
after the fact

and it′s smoky around you
i can hardly breathe
