The Tragically Hip - Throwing Off Gla** lyrics

"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked Till a car full of haircuts drove past A backseat full of the boys I told her that it isn't That it, that it's exquisite But like love it has it's barbarous threats Still in spite of the cads And the stoop shouldered teens I know I'm losing you I know what that means I told her that it isn't That it's real exquisite But like love it can have it's stubbed toe effects And just like after she heard the word iridescent And everything was iridescent for a while It wasn't long before she exalted out of nowhere "Isn't this exquisite?" Once you've said "mmm" in unison And "oh" in double surprise And shared relief with a mutual "phew" And a look in each others' eyes I tell her that is isn't Insisted that it isn't Because like love it has too cunning effects I told her that it isn't That it's just exquisite Because like love it has it's barbarous threats "Why is the world so creepy?" she asked After a car full of haircuts drove past A backseat full of the boys Breaking gla**, throwing off gla**
