Kim Gordon stated in her book that “It’s a song about someone who believes he can’t show himself to the world. Believing he’ll only destroy the people he cares about, he avoids all intimacy. He’s stuck. I couldn’t help thinking that was true about a lot of boy-men I’d known in my life.”
[Verse 1]
Dead boy stares
Strange to meet you
Dead boy cares
So great to see you
[Chorus]
Is it time to go
It's a place I know
I can't read your mind
I can't find the time
I can't feel the thrill
I don't have the will
[Verse 2]
Dead boy dares
Believe in you
Dead boy stares
Afraid that you will see him
[Chorus]
Is it time to go
It's a place I know
I can't read your mind
I can't find the time
I can't feel the thrill
I don't have the will
[Bridge]
I love you
A metallic blue
I love you
Golden blue
I miss you
Shine all alone
I miss you
[Outro]
Don't know what to do
I don't glitter like the stars above
I don't glow like neon alone
Don't blush it's just the wind outside
Don't rush to be by my side
