Where You’ll Find Me Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I perceive is wasted and broken
Silvery streams, sacred when spoken
Slam into me and into the ditch of debris

And you smoke in the park, you sleep in the greenery
Everyone barks and they are all still believing
To tear out your heart would send all your secrets to me

[Chorus]
But I let you down
Swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk

[Verse 2]
Your teeth believe that teeth are for tearing
Tear into me, the scent of you sweating smells good to me
As long as we keep in our clothes

And out in the dark the world is still rolling
Kids in their cars, cigarette smoking
And all that they are just reeks with the sweetest belief


[Chorus]
But I let you down
Swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk
[Verse 3]
All I could want is silver and spinning
Out from your arms and into the pretty
Pit of your heart, so simply and softly we'd flow


[Chorus]
But I let you down
Swollen and small is where you'll find me now
With that silver stripping off
From my tongue you're tearing out
And you'll never hear me talk

[Outro]
Glow into you
I will glow into you

Genius Answer

From an interview in Ptolemaic Terrascope, September 1996:

There are for example songs that sound identical but which somehow remain distinct and independent, like an artist working on the same portrait first in pastels and then in oils.

“A Baby For Pree” and “Where You’ll Find Me Now” are twins aside from being lyrically distinct and separated at birth by a distorted Casio keyboard and tape loop instrumental stanza, the first of which was the last song written for the album, (when the friend named in the title became pregnant) and the second being a lament to unrequited lust, closing with an allegorical ice-cream van jingle that echoes lost childhood and innocence."
