Throwing Muses

Throwing Muses is an alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Newport, Rhode Island, that toured and recorded extensively until 1997, when its members began concentrating more on other projects. The group was originally fronted by two lead singers, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly, who both wrote the group's songs. Throwing Muses are known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox song structures, and surreal lyrics. The group was set apart from other contemporary acts by Hersh's stark, candid writing style; Donelly's pop stylings and vocal harmonies; and David Narcizo's unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals.

You built a city in my head
Then there were candles
And a phoenix burned my bed
These are subwords
These are air

There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes 

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this? 

I shouldn't be smoking
This last cigarette
I feel sick 
Now there are words in my head 

You took my house
Burned it inside out
Kneel in my ashes
Kneading them 

There's one boy
In one house
In one place
At all times
And green eyes 

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And now you're leaving again, no

Temper and tempest 
To knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
What's that beyond the floor?
You were left screaming
My hands are in your hair
You're on the deep with the stars(?)

You built a city in my head 
Where are your candles?
(...can see my...)
And a phoenix that was you in my bed
These are subwords
These are air 
(Turning my body around)

There's one boy 
In one house
In one place
At all times
(There's one boy)
And green eyes 

I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this? 

Smoke falls to the ceiling
It begins
There's a man dancing at me
He's making circles
So I will tell you now
(I wear your clothes) 
I wear your clothes like armour
(I love your face) 
I love your face like God
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
And now you're leaving again
No
