All of a sudden she disappears
just yesterday she was here
somebody tell me if I am sleeping
someone should be with me here
(cause I don't wanna be alone)

I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand
and I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult
What a big baby won't somebody save me please
You won't find nobody home

all of these quiet battered voices
wait for the hunger to come
we got little revolvers and stupid choices
and no one to say when we're done
(Well I don't wanna bring you down)

I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes
`cause I know there's little things about me
that would sing in the silence of so much rejection
in every connection I make
I can't find nobody home

I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes
`cause I know there's little things about me
that would sing in the silence of so much rejection
in every connection I make
I wanna be the last thing you hear when you're falling asleep....

We were little boys
We were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth. Question:
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapult

(chorus)
We were little boys
We were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth
We in step, in hand, your mother remembers this
Hear the howl of the rope, a question:
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapult

March could be darker, march could be darker
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapul

(repeat chorus)

(Doctor Davis, telephone please...Doctor Davis, telephone please)
I'd catapult downtown
To see the galleries
And my favorite fiancee
In a lavender gown

But I'm hooked up to a machine
It performs my daily functions
Through a tube in my wien

And today that thing malfunctioned
Like a forest fire
It burnt a hole in me and I perspired

So there ain't gonna be a wedding
No love affair
No art to which none compares

We were little boys
We were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth. Question:
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapult

(chorus)
We were little boys
We were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth
We in step, in hand, your mother remembers this
Hear the howl of the rope, a question:
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? did we miss anything?
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapult

March could be darker, march could be darker
Catapult (catapult), catapult, catapult (catapult), catapul
