Yo La Tengo - Before We Stopped to Think lyrics

There are black pots hangin' round the sink Before we stop to think We're not the ones that need a drink Before we stop to think And we stop to catch our breath And we stop fearing our d**h - That's when we die And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart We would write our songs slow And we tried to speed them up We would write our songs soft Then we'd try to make them tough And we stop to catch our breath And we stop fearing our d**h - That's when we die And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart We finish more than we could start And we're smarter than you'd ever think Now I think I need a drink Cause for a cause I never named And we stop to catch our breath And we stop fearing our d**h - That's when we die And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart
