Testo The brides have hit glass Guided By Voices

The brides have hit glass

I dont come around
Never call or let her know
I got a life of my own
You know I hate to be around her
When shes like that
I wrote a song once about her
Called the brides have hit glass
You know it just wont last
To be on top of your own world
With no guardrails to cling to
You fall so very fast
Its very odd to find her up again
Staking out expansion
Seeking new exposure

And when she holds out an empty glass
And she comes for a handout
I ask for the same thing-its sad
And I hold on so sure I can take all she can
Just to be around her
Just to feel bad

One day I will know
Thats its a waste of time
And theres a better road ahead of me
I just dont know how to make it there
So Ill just hang around and take my chance
Once again Ill roll the dice
And try to hang on to my shrinking paradise

And Ill hold out an empty glass
And Ill come for a handout
And Ill ask for the same thing-its sad
And Ill hold on so confident
Thats it all I can give
To try to find my way back
Just to hit glass
