why do you have to put a date on everything

Singer:superchunk

you've got your muscles in one big knot

well

mine are just loosening

you used to cut me up inside

i won't let you do it again

make sure the fringe catches the first time

make sure the flame catches the first time

why do you have to put a date on everything?

can't you just strike the bell to hear it ring

thought that your skin would crack

it's just wrinkling

why do you have to put a date on everything?

you think that something is turning?

well

it's not spoiled 'cause i tried it once

and if it's all the same to you at this point

you keep your place and i'll keep the rest

why do you have to put a date on everything?

can't you just strike the bell to hear it ring

thought that your skin would crack

it's just wrinkling

why do you have to put a date on everything?

why do you have to put a date?

can't you just strike the bell

thought that your skin would crack

why do you have to put a date on everything?
