Lyrics
Getting Down The Germs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The answer's always no
To questions of a private nature
The lights are always low
In settings of a conversation
The ankle trips a wire
While phasing into oscillation
We'll take it when we go
And leave behind our reservations
It goes down
It's never the same
And the nights always glow
There's nothing to see
And nowhere to go
It's easy to say you're happier
When you're disturbed
The grey lights in your head
Getting down the germs
I'm lazy and tame
And the chimes always blow
A glimmering sound
On the breeze when you go
It's never a shame and
I've learned to live with
The worms underground
Getting down the germs
She's happy when it grows
To heights above a normal nature
The spirit always shows
A life beyond a resignation
The hammer breaks the toes
A sliver of a conversation
It's just above a hum
We'll talk about it at the station
It goes down
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
Getting down the germs
