To Think It All Started With Trim Milk by Chris Knox Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1993

Why, why, why do you live in a lie
That you know, know, know you were told in a fairy tale?
Why, why, why do you think you must buy
What you know, know, know should've never been up for sale?

Why, I'll tell you why
You can't resist a single thing that is spread out before your eye
You lust for silver dust
That you can't hold or own or keep enthroned
In rooms that stretch for miles so I say

Why, why, why can't you say goodbye
When you know, know, know how your future has disappeared?
Why, why, why can't you break down and cry
That you know it is just as you always feared?

Why, I'll tell you why
You can't resist a single thought that might imply
You will not die
You crave someone to save
Your fragile soul from some deep hole
Your wizened mind tells you you're destined for and
Why, why, why do you live in a lie
That you know, know, know you were told in a fairy tale?

I never thought you would be
Sucked in by this Shirley MacLaine shit
I never thought you could be
Plucked out of the world that was your battlefield
And sucked of all the juices that you fed on to thrive

So I say why, why, why is your head in the sky
When you know that the air is unbreathable?
Why, why, why do you smile and deny
That you know that this shit's unbelievable?

I never thought you would be
Sucked in by this Shirley MacLaine shit
I never thought you could be
Plucked out of the world that was your battlefield
And sucked of all the juices that you fed on to thrive

So I say why, why, why do you live in a lie
That you know, know, know you were told in a fairy tale?
Why, why, why do you think you must buy
What you know, know, know should've never been up for sale?
Why, why, why do you live in a lie
That you know, know, know you were told in a fairy tale?
Why, why, why do you think you must buy
What you know, know, know should've never been up for sale?
Why, why, why do you live in a lie
That you know you were told in a fairy tale?
Why, why, why do you think you must buy
What you know should've never been up for sale?
