《Know Your Onion》歌词

[00:00:00] Know Your Onion - The Shins

[00:00:11] Shut out pimpled and angry

[00:00:14] I quietly tied all my guts into knots

[00:00:18] Gave up on trying to make them

[00:00:21] I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides

[00:00:26] It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why

[00:00:31] When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters

[00:00:36] I knew what worthless dregs we've always been

[00:00:40] Lucked out and found my favorite records

[00:00:43] Lying in wait at the birmingham mall

[00:00:47] The songs that i heard

[00:00:50] The occasional book

[00:00:51] Were the only fun i ever took

[00:00:55] And i got on with making myself

[00:01:13] The trick is just making yourself

[00:01:16] But when they're parking their cars on your chest

[00:01:20] You've still got a view of the summer sky

[00:01:24] To make it hurt twice when your restless body

[00:01:27] Caves to its whims

[00:01:31] And suddenly struggles to take flight

[00:01:43] Three thousand miles north east

[00:01:45] I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads

[00:01:49] "what kind of life you dream of you're allergic to love "

[00:01:53] Yes i know but i must say in my own defense

[00:01:57] It's been undeniably dear to me i don't know why

[00:02:02] When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters

[00:02:08] I knew the worthless dregs we are

[00:02:11] The selfless loving saints we are

[00:02:14] The melting sliding dice we've always been
