Thumbtack Lyrics - Bob Mould

Here's the town we live in 

This is how the band lays out 

I bought a map 

So I could find my way around, way around 

Taped the map on the wall 

Studied every avenue 

Found my way around 

Tried to feel at home for once 

We worked out a system 

When one of us would leave 

A thumbtack stuck showing 

Where we were going 

All the time you wore a hole 

The same place tacked over and over 

And I never go there 

I never go there? 

Through that hole you see 

My faith in you 

Boring deeper and deeper 

Finally through that wall 

Map began to rip apart 

Watched it fall into the floor 

Well I didn't bother 

Moving my thumbtack anymore 

Here's the town we live in 

This is how the band lays out 

I bought a map 

So I could find my way around, rip apart 

Watched it fall into the ground 

Well I didn't bother 

Moving my thumbtack anymore 

Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore 

Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
