pulled muscle

superchunk

when you see my silhouette on the peak of the roof

discouraged and aloof

straining my eyes for the northern lights

please don't deny we have some long

cold nights ahead

pulling down stars out of our doors and from our heads

there is no proof that this is real

so i'm out back inventing the wheel

your love at any price i'd steal

i wanna cut your christmas tree

drag it through the snow

leave it at your knees

the heart's a muscle

i pull it constantly

pull my muscles

pull my muscles

please

and now i've built everything you own

you know i live to break my bones

but you've run out of little tasks

so take this planet off your back

and let's call this star home

cover my ears before they freeze

i'm dragging through the snow

falling at your knees

the heart's a muscle

i pull it constantly

pull my muscles

pull my muscles

please
