Some Catch Flies Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

When he stares, it's like he's splitting hairs 

I'm a wreck when he's here, I swear 

Fill a glass up with shiny tacks 

I'm feeling sharp 

I am numb 

When he drools, it's like he's spitting jewels 

I'm alone when he's here, I am 

What a dumb-ass thing to say 

plus I'm not ashamed 

Nobody's here 

I am clean 

He's my gold 

Tangle till we're old, he's my distraction, and how 

Simple gold, and no one has to know 

It's hectic as hell 

I play dumb 

A sideways look, a lighter in the dark 

You make it good, you do 

Some catch flies, some kill them till they die 

I just stare 

I do love you
