The Be Good Tanyas - Ootischenia lyrics

In spite of everything around me I hit the floor, and my feet kept moving I looked forwards and never backwards I was out the door like a rollin soldier Impossible to keep a straight line Too young to keep these bitter hearts And all around me somebody's singin' Get back get back Long hair comin down her shoulders She is tired, and feeling so much older So tear the pages from the family bible It came down upon the women for survival (x2) I wasn't meanin' nothing at all You stop me if I get it wrong I think I'm hearing somebody saying I'm gonna spank you till you can't sit down Bust apart ah we lose each other The constellation of my sisters and brothers Spreading out into the darkness Goodbye to you in the sadness of this Impossible to keep a straight line Too young to keep these bitter hearts And all around me somebody singin Get back get back
