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.

Lie down, don't move
Quiet, you
Sick with amazement
I'm soaking and broke
Here's a big fat aspirin
Maybe you'll choke, That's not funny 

Get me into your club
Get me off your hook
I want to get excited
I want to be your slave
Ignorance is happiness unless you get paid

And the times never change
I'm running out of days 

But we can always run away 
And you could always run away with me
And we could always run away 
And you could always run away with me
Run away with me
Run away
I don't like you anymore than you know
But I still like you too much 

This city's insane
These people are crazy
You can buy me breakfast
And then find me a coat
Back in that apartment I saw too many ghosts to go home 

This bread is old
My coffee's cold
We live on toast and coffee
We live on bread and water
We live on Coke and pretzels
We live on bread and water 

Times never change
I'm running out of days 

And we can always run away 
And you can always run away with me
And we can always run away 
And you can always run away with me
Run away with me
Run away

I don't like you anymore than you know
But I still like you too much
