Throwing Off Glass Lyrics - Tragically Hip

"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked 

Till a car full of haircuts drove past 

A backseat full of the boys 

I told her that it isn't 

That it, that it's exquisite 

But like love it has it's barbarous threats 

Still in spite of the cads 

And the stoop shouldered teens 

I know I'm losing you 

I know what that means

I told her that it isn't 

That it's real exquisite 

But like love it can have it's stubbed toe effects 

And just like after she heard the word iridescent 

And everything was iridescent for a while 

It wasn't long before she exalted out of nowhere 

"Isn't this exquisite?" 

Once you've said "mmm" in unison 

And "oh" in double surprise 

And shared relief with a mutual "phew" 

And a look in each others' eyes 

I tell her that is isn't 

Insisted that it isn't 

Because like love it has too cunning effects 

I told her that it isn't 

That it's just exquisite 

Because like love it has it's barbarous threats

A backseat full of the boys 

Breaking glass, throwing off glass
