They Might Be Giants — Lie Still, Little Bottle lyrics

Lyrics

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee’s not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
There is no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me He said, «Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile»
I knew that pill was lying
Toogregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice
Lie still, little bottle
Don’t twist, it ain’t twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind
