Independence Street Songtext
von Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

I don′t have the stomach for your brandy
I can hardly sip your tea
I don't have the teeth left for your candy
I′m just busy being free

Living in this yurt
Everybody hurts
There's no central heat
On Independence Street


I know that she's nothing but nothing
Nothing but a lover girl
See the way she gives away those kisses
She′s everything you need and more

Sucking on a Cert

That ain′t no dessert
I cannot compete
On Independence Street

I don't have the stomach for your brandy
I can hardly sip your tea
I don′t have no teeth left for your candy
I'm just busy being me


Riffing in this church
I just might convert
There′s no way to leave
From Independence Street
