The Nodd LIVE: Pretty Blue Lips (11.11.11)

The Nodd performs Pretty Blue Lips, a song not rehearsed in the planned set, after being called up for one more song after performing Baby's First Wars in its entirety. 11.11.11: Baby's First Wars LIVE was a commemoration of the album's release two years prior, on Veterans Day, 2009.

(Pretty Blue Lips)

That's the way -- start your dizzy day with some of last night stale in your mouth
You hit the ground lying down -- you don't remember going south

What a waste of a sense of taste -- all your meals go up the arm
Sex and rock can go take a walk -- you're uncomfortable when you're numb
Waste away, put it on display -- paint some skin onto those bones
Your tights are loose on your blacks and blues -- are your blood and guts all gone?

Maybe you could stand up for yourself -- can you still stand?
Baby can't you speak up with your pretty blue lips in such high demand?

You got your shakes and your bellyaches -- everything but what you should
Your parents said you're as good as dead -- what you wouldn't give to feel so good

Maybe you could stand up for yourself -- can you still stand?
Baby can't you speak up with your pretty blue lips in such high demand?

Couldn't you just die?
He likes to hold your breath
He loves to bite your tongue for you
He scares you half to death

Tells you to go down
So you say 'how low'
This is what's around
Where else you gonna go?

Couldn't you just die?
He likes to hold your breath
He loves to bite your tongue for you
He scares you half to death

This is what's around
Where else you gonna go?
Until you can reach the door
The floor is all you'll know
