Guided by Voices - Watch Me Jumpstart lyrics

(R. Pollard)

Watch me jumpstart as the old skin is peeled

See an opening and bust into the field

Hidden longings no longer concealed

Watch me bulldoze every bulldozer away

Each new obstacle from each old new day

Where it's going it's hard for me to say

And shoot me down

And bring me down

But I won't be around

As you run through the places you love

I remember the faces that cry

And they're pulling me back so I have to die

And watch me jumpstart at the first light of day

Each new sensation just blows me away

Don't look now, don't look now, I'm a phase

Straight from ground zero, X marks the spot

I can't pretend to be something I'm not

'Cause I'm a supernova erect and white hot

And shoot me down

And bring me down

But I won't be around

As you run through the places you love

I remember the faces that cry

And they're holding me back so I have to die

And watch me jumpstart I'm Maximum Jack

Shot through the cosmos like an alien attack

Film finished, fade into black.
