Mercury Rev - Frittering Lyrics

I've seen you eat away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine*

I've seen you chisel away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine



and you wonder why I leave so soon

how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room



I've seen you fritter away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

I've seen you whittle away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the spine



And you wonder why I leave so soon

how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room



I wonder why I stay

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine

I've seen you eat away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine



I wonder what to do

slow as a glacier takes to move on through the world



And you wonder why I leave so soon

how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room



And you wonder why I leave so soon

how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room



I've seen you chisel away

Hammer in place always in time

I've seen you chisel away

slow as a glacier makes its way down to the Rhine



And you wonder why I leave so soon

how I get so high sink to the bottom of your room
