Bottle Rocket Lyrics by Heatmiser

Dead Air

1993

He’s a saint by numbers
A watery life full of teeth and pain
Bothered, I’m under my own collar
I’m the idiot who knows your name

(Anxious to hide)
Opinions find a way down
(Spoken in truth)
Right out the door and lose mighty fast
(It's in my face)

I'm a whole conspiracy
(Oh, my manner)
I’m gonna have him framed
(On my defense)
Oh, anything to pin him down
(Does any of it matter?)
I’m the idiot who won’t take the blame

(Anxious to hide)
Opinions find a way down
(Spoken in truth)
Right out the door and loose mighty fast
(Anxious to hide)
But I can't quit now
I just can't

I never swallowed that spite before
A watery life full of teeth and pain
(All of it is shame)
Bothered, I’m under my own collar
(All of it is shame)
I’m the idiot who knows your name
(Anxious to hide)
Opinions find a way down
(Spoken in truth)
Right out the door and loose mighty fast
(Anxious to hide)
But I can't quit now
I just can't

(I can't quit now, already stepped in the socket)
Can't wait now
(To set myself off like a bottle rocket)
Oh, I just can't
(Set myself off like a bottle rocket)
Can't win now
