yo la tengo - from a motel 6 + stockholm syndrome (fib 98)

live at fib 98


from a motel 6

you shouldn't hide but you always do
cause even when you're gone, i can see right through
you want disconnection
you want me there enough for two

pull a woollen blanket across my eyes
dream a quiet place for us to fight
oh no, your heart is broken
don't you think that's a little trite?

i climb where i can see
you're close but i won't reach
blank stare at the tv
cnn's on channel 3

in the passing lane on 1 and 9
stuck in sad, car stuck in drive
oh no, your heart is broken
well, you can have what's left of mine

i climb where i can see
you're close but i won't reach
blank stare at the tv
the howling ii's on channel 3
oh, i drift off to sleep
while the snow falls on the screen

stockholm syndrome

what's the matter, why don't you answer
what's the matter with me
cause it's so hard to be
free and easy, we'll disappear completely
hardly as i've known it's glad

you're heart is broken, and the doors are open
as you're hoping to be
there's brighter places to see
hands need warning, early in the morning
hardly as i've known a surprise

no, don't warn me
i know it's wrong, but i swear it won't take long
and i know, you know,
it makes me sigh; i do believe in love

another season, but the same old feelings
another reason could be
i'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
but i'll believe what i want to believe
