Lyrics: Lie Still, Little Bottle
Album: Lincoln
Artist: They Might Be Giants
 

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
