Sleater-kinney - Get Up lyrics

And when the body finally starts to let go

Let it all go at once

Not piece by piece

But like a whole bucket of stars

Dumped into the universe

Whoa! Watch it go!

Good-bye small hands

Good-bye small heart

Good-bye small head

My soul is climbing tree trunks

And swinging from every branch

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

(I am fine)

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

(I'm not fine)

Do you think I'm an animal? Am I not?

Do you like fur?

(I'm alright)

Do you wanna come over?

Are we captive only for a short time?

(I'm not right)

Is there splendor, I'm not ashamed

Desire shoots through me like birds singing

(The way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

(I am fine)

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

They're calling on me

(I'm not fine)

I hit the mark

I target moon, I target sky, I target sun

Fall down on the world

Fall down on the world

Fall down on the world before it falls on you

Like beggars, like dogs

Like whores, us all

(I'm alright)

Like beggars, like dogs

Like stars, us all

(I'm not right)

Shoot straight for my heart

(And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)

Shoot straight for my heart

Like stars, so small

Like us when we fall

(I am fine)

Like beggars, like whores

Like lovers

Oh, get up too far

Oh, get up too far

Like stars above

Look down so far

Like stars above

Look down at us all
