Turpentine by Pere Ubu Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1991

I fell out of bed
A terrible thought bounced a path straight across the room
Throwed out the coffee to drink the soap
I run because I have to know

Down by the riverside
In the shade of the piney tree
I throw down my head and cry
I know what the whole world needs

Turpentine
Turpentine is fine

Train on the water a river shakes
Flood out the valley a big ole snake
Hear it breathe Feel it shake
The sound it makes is a wild wind

Call out to me if you see that train
Trailed by a whiff of a turpentine
I know what I know and I knew what I'd see
The kind of a woman that you meant to be
