Magnet's Coil

[Verse 1: Lou Barlow]

I've gotta find a way to loosen up, I'm wound tighter than a magnet's coil

The longer I try to keep my mouth shut, the sooner little brain is gonna boil

[Verse 2: Lou Barlow]

And if you turn back just to fuck me up, I'll cut you loose and watch you fall

It feels good just to bitch about it, scratch that itch until it bleeds

[Refrain: Lou Barlow]

But I don't really want to lose you

But I can't play the silent game

'Cause when I talk, the silence follows

You never say what's on your mind

[Verse 3: Lou Barlow]

If you laugh to see me so defensive, I'll know I've made another enemy

Nobody wants another mirror on their fears, I guess that's all you are to me

[Refrain: Lou Barlow]

But I don't really want to lose this

Does it all depend on me?

It's always personal between us

You won't say what's on your mind

What's on your mind

What's on your mind
