Get Up

Sleater-Kinney

6

And when the body finally starts to let go

let it all go at once

not peice by peice,

but like a whole bucket of stars

dumped into the universe

Whoooh! Watcb it go!

Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart

good-bye small head

My soul is climbing tree trunks

and swinging from every branch

They're calling on me,

they're calling on me...

Do you think I'm an animal?

Am I not?

Do you like fur

Do you wanna come over

Are we captive only for a short time

Is there splendor, I'm not ashamed

Desire shoots through me

like birds singing

(The way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)

They're calling on me,

they're calling on me...

I hit the mark!

I target moon, I target sky, I target sun.

Fall down on the world before it falls on you.

Like beggars, like Stars,

like whores, us all

Like beggars, like dogs

Like Stars, us all

Shoot straight for my heart

(And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)

Like stars, so small

Like us, when we fall

Like beggars, like whores

Like lovers, Get Up!

Get up...too far.
