Lie Still, Little Bottle Lyrics

Artist: They Might Be Giants (Buy They Might Be Giants CDs)
Album: Lincoln

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along

There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me
He said, "Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile"*
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice

Lie still, little bottle
Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind

Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along

Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still

this is soooooooo weird
*placebo- a sugar pill
masquerading- a party of guests wearing costumes
gregarious- forming a group with others
so so soooooooooooooooooooo weird

Masquerading means posing as, what you're thinking of is a "Masquerade Ball"

Someone doesn't understand metaphors.
