Kristin Hersh - Your Dirty Answer Lyrics

You know how it feels
When the real world encroaches
Rubbing elbows with
The unemployed and you

You're so beautiful, you're so rude
Peeling mangoes on a fold out couch
I'm scooped out, you're inscrutable
You're all mine

Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer?

My fantasies are unloved histories
You know what it's like
When mistakes go unmade
It was beautiful, it was you

I'm giving up the ugly
I thought you'd make pretty
I'll be god damned
This is beautiful, hold my hand

Swimming is a 'lude
Wine opens your mind
Your guitar's a race car
Sex is your best friend
What's your dirty answer ?

I don't judge people
I just watch them
'Til it's time to look away
I want to look away now

Somebody's coming, I don't want to look backwards
I don't want to even look backwards, it's not my fault
It's not my fault you don't love me
It's not my fault you don't love me, when I'm drunk

I'm wiped, I'm so tired
Carry me for a little while
