From This Might Be A Wiki
Lie Still, Little Bottle
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 1988

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's no time for metaphors," cried the little pill to me He said, "Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile." Well, I knew that pill was lying Too gregarious, 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

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

Lie still, little bottle Lie still Lie still, little bottle Lie still Lie still Lie still
