Tripping Along Lyrics — The Decemberists

Lyrics

Tripping Along

We were tripping tripping tripping tripping, tripping along While you're orbiting, might I? While you're orbiting, might I? Lick you sticky sticky sticky sticky, sticky and sweep They're all turning a blind eye They're all turning a blind eye But oh, what I'd do just to lie with you die in your arms? What wouldn't I give just to live with that sense of alarm? But your relatives gathered all clamber about for your mind And they're tearing and swearing to leave you all naked and blind So we keep a-ripping ripping ripping ripping, rips in the sheets Till it's all coming undone Till it's all coming undone And we're drippy drippy drippy drippy, what messes are we? And I'm due for a line out And I'm due for a light out But just as I'm cusping on slumber and dumbing my eyes What spin-twisting vision comes listing and jelly alike? And bothering toddles all over this beautiful light This fickle young sister's away in the dimming of night La de da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da De da, de da, de da da da da
