  • Silent kid, no one to remind you
    You've got no hip, no reels to remind you
    Silent kid, don't take your pawnshop home on the road, goddamn you
    Silent kid, don't lose your graceful tone

    This is the city life
    This is the city life, come on
    Let's talk 'bout leaving

    Come on now, talk about your family
    Your sister's cursed, your father's all but damned you
    Silent kid, don't listen to your grandmother's advice about Ezra
    Silent kid, don't listen to them

    Hand me the drumstick, snare, kick, blues
    Call upon I knew myself in
    Into the spotlight, ecstasy feels so warm inside
    Until five hours later, I'm chewing
    Screwing myself with my hand Writer/s: Stephen Malkmus
