Lyrics:Till My Head Falls Off

From This Might Be A Wiki
Till My Head Falls Off
By: They Might Be Giants
Written: 1996
There were eighty-seven Advil in the bottle now there's thirty left
I ate forty-seven so what happened to the other ten?
Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration
As I dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again?
 
Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought
Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself
 
And I'm not done
And I won't be till my head falls off
 
Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat
And I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes
Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern I smile and face my audience
Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink
 
And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall
I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all
 
And I'm not done
And I won't be till my head falls off
Though it may not be a long way off
 
I'm not done talking yet
I'm not done talking yet

And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall
I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall
 
And I'm not done
And I won't be till my head falls off
Though it may not be a long way off
I won't be done until my head falls off
