Lie Still Little Bottle — They Might Be Giants

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
