Pixies - Keeping it together Lyrics

Complimentary "Keeping it together" Ringtone

Drugs stopped working when I was born 
But all the fairy dust I breathe 
Is doing nothing to relieve 
The strife of broken Autumn leaves in the sand 

I'm still high on the music 
As my inner child cries 
For she may lose it 

And the incense in my eyes 
Can't save the sin between your thighs 
Because you stabbed me with your lies 
You're not the only one that's broken 

Whore, fuck your drugs 
I introduced you anyway 
You're a slave 
Spun undone, I met you in an alleyway 
And I'm never okay 

Cos I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 
I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 

My bones are scratched and so forlorn 
And all the Prozac that I take 
Is only lulling me to make up 
This forced smile that is fake for all the doctors 

But I'll get by 
For the music 
Stand as an object 
So they can use it 

So go snort your loved white powder 
I'll just play my music louder 
And get my drugs from the counter at the pharmacy 

Whore, fuck your drugs 
I introduced you anyway 
You're a slave 
Spun undone, I met you in an alleyway 
And I'm never okay 

Cos I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 
Oh, I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 
Oh, I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 
Oh, I'm pretending like I'm keeping it together 
And they'll never know
