Throwing off Glass — текст песни (Tragically Hip)

"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked
after a car full of haircuts drove past
a backseat full of `the boys`

I told her that `It isn`t...
that...that it`s exquisite
but like love, it has it`s barbarous threats

still in spite of the cads
and the stoop-shouldered teens
I know I`m losing you
I know what that means, yea

I told her that it isn`t
that it`s real exquisite
but like love, it can have it`s
stubbed-toe effects

and juts like after she heard
the word `iridescent`
and everything was iridescent for awhile,
it wasn`t long
before she exhalted out of nowhere,
`Isn`t this exquisite?`

Once you`ve said `mmm` in unison
and `oh` in double surprise
and shared relief with a mutual `phew`
and a look in each others` eyes

I tell her that is isn`t
insisted that it isn`t
because like love
it has too-cunning effects
I told her that it isn`t
that it`s just exquisite
because like love it has
it`s barborous threats

`Why is the world so creepy?` she asked
after a car full of haircuts drove past
a backseat full of the boys
breaking glass
throwing off glass.
