Lyrics

Nu Bruises

When you came my paint was still wet

Plastering horsehair in relief

Pulling bristles off the wall

You're like mosquitoes in the fall

You signed your name, you used your teeth

Grass stained knees and sand in my shoes

Sore like I'd recently been rode

I've been to parties at your place

Where you explained the steeplechase

Smooth hedges and a secret code

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Resting by the channel rapids

Delivery room into the shore

I saw you floating down this way

Dove in and kicking all the way

Is nearly drowning not a sport?

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises

Nu bruises aren't all bruises
