Lie Still, Little Bottle Lyrics - 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
