Get Up - Xiu Xiu

A piano fell on my face

You told me to get up

When I could not control myself

You said to get up

Consciousness demolished

When I tried to hold the pain inside

You say to hold it in

Love me forever

Don’t forget me

It’s late in the game to ask

But I’m still asking

A harmonica fell on my face

It did not hurt that much

If you leave no one will find my corpse

You said

Rise from the dead!

Sometimes a person cannot help what they do

You mumble to get up

Operating now without belief

You say sh sh sh

And to get up

Do you hate me

Because I seem so stupid?

Or do you just very quickly

Hate me right back?

During the rape of everything decent

The flickering flames impressed me

A saxophone fell on my face

How is a mystery

When I am shocked

By my own foolishness

You say you are not as shocked

When I repeat that I am shocked by my own foolishness

You get up and leave the room

Love me forever

Don’t forget me

It’s late in the game to ask

But I’m still asking you

You’re the only reason I was born

You’re the only reason I was born
