Baby Below You

from Old Joy (demos) by Old Joy

about

I think I wrote this one in early 2013, maybe late winter or early spring? this recording is from spring of 2015, again done in my bedroom at the bingham apartment. Song is about, uh.... just stuff.

lyrics

I”ve been living inside myself too long
I can’t even tell my right from my left from my wrong
I don’t even know which hand I’m counting on
I won’t even count the fingers that I’m keeping crossed

There’s no frequency I’d rather hear than you
Shutting up after you’ve had one or ten or two
You’ve been drinking ‘bout me, thinking up all your booze
You’ve been inking in the winking and you’re fucking smooth

There’s no reason that I’m wishing I get rich.
There’s no reason why I piss and whine and why I bitch.
There’s no meaning behind leaning out the window and letting go of the baby below you.

There’s no decency you recently said to me
Decent of you to repeat the talk you think I need
I’m not listening ‘till I’ve heard another word
That sounds more like you and less like you’re getting insured

There’s no reason that I’m wishing I get rich
There’s no reason why I piss and whine and why I bitch
There’s no meaning behind leaning out the window and letting go of the baby below you

Forget families having panic self portraits made
Don’t forget the premature baby born too late
Throw him in the frame or throw him out of touch
Throw him down or throw him up like your wet lunch

There’s no reason that I’m wishing I get rich
Theres no reason why I piss and whine and why I bitch
There’s no meaning behind leaning out the window and letting go of the baby below you.
