Watchmen – Shut Up lyrics

Her head sits in a state it rings approximately true to one on mine
but more front and centre
She's what becomes a legend most with memories such as hers
Diarized inside the cage there's no escape
Only inches of clean air
Breathing the best that she knows how
Breathing the best that she knows how to breathe

She's so in love with the great escape it's all around her hopes
and in her dreams of one day just transporting
Where would all the young girls go?
Would they wander around like me?
I wish I knew of a better place
a kinder place, a more gentler place to be
She's living the best that she knows how
Living the best that she knows how to live

Hear her sing shut up (x3)
Though she can't even bother
Hear her sing shut up (x3)
She don't have the strength to be fighting with you
One week and two and three and four going insane

It's 19 in the 40's sometime
What be it of a girl who's in the way of all the race they're ruining?
She can almost hear them now
She closes up her eyes but just the same
Hears their boots and knows that her days are short
and she'll die before she wakes
Shut up
Hear her sing shut up (x2)

Will they walk by and grab me if I break for the outside?
Will I fall in love now or will I crumble straight down here?
So I write and I fear it's a real return me to my maker

Hear her sing shut up (x3)
Though she can't even bother
Hear her sing shut up (x3)
She don't have the strength to be fighting with you
One week and two and three and four going insane
