作词 : They Might Be Giants
Vocal：John Flansburgh
Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
There's no time for metaphors cried the little pill to me
He said, 'Life is a placebo masquerading as a simile'*
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked I had to sing this twice
Lie still, little bottle
Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate my ever-troubled mind
Lie still, little bottle, and shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me, I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still
Notes
*The Frank O'Toole demo version: 'I need to get some shuteye, I wish that you could let me be.'
The entire lyrics for the original Dial-a-Song version were:
As I lie still
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
