Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
Middle America
[Verse 1]
Blame stops until you do
Blame stops until you do
Do your major duty
And crawl right back again

[Verse 2]
Time gets to me and I
The heir apparent just might try
You know you should be winning
Time won't wait for you
To grow

[Chorus 1]
Crush me back to where I belong
Hold me down there anchor strong
Fill me up 'til I overflow
In the wintertime
In the wintertime
When we get down to it
You wanted to

[Verse 3]
Arms never get on top
You heed that notion and you'll drop
I will not be one of the watchers
I will not disappear

[Verse 4]
Time gets to me and I
Wonder how to simplify
You know you should be blushing
To a hue of Robitussin
Flow

[Chorus 2]
Men are scum, I won't deny
May you be shit-faced the day you die
And be successful in all your lies
In the wintertime
In the wintertime
When we get down to it
You wanted to

[Verse 5]
Do you think you got the nerve?
It doesn't take much nerve
Just kiss yourself metaphorically
And open the door and piss if you need to

[Verse 6]
Gonna get it when it's hot
Come and get it, ready or not
It fits in your grip, such a feminine trip
Revel in the rubber pavilion
Of gold

[Outro]
Captured in a mason jar
Will you be my whisper unnamed star?
In a galaxy so far far far
From the wintertime
From the wintertime
From the wintertime
Wandering through
