Pigeons
Stone Gossard Lyrics

There goes my love, there goes her heart
My relationship is ending, and my partner's feelings for me are gone.

And that's not the last of it, or the worst part
The situation is going to get worse, and it's going to hurt even more.

There go my eves, down my downspout
My tears are falling quickly and steadily, as if they're going down a drainpipe.

There goes my car, and my house
I'm losing everything, including my material possessions like my car and my home.

Cause I'm out of here
I'm leaving, and I'm not looking back.

I'm not through sleeping around
I'm not done having casual sexual relationships with other people.

There goes the pop, there goes my ears
The loud music is causing damage to my hearing, and I'm starting to regret being here.

And I've been around so long, just not here
I've been alive for a while, but I haven't truly existed until now.

There goes the wings, of my grey dove
The metaphorical wings of my relationship have been clipped, and it can no longer fly.

There goes the world, I've been of
The familiar world I used to know is disappearing, and I'm becoming disconnected from it.

It's not the way that it seems
The situation is not what it appears to be on the surface.

But yeah I know that I like it
Even though it's difficult and painful, I enjoy the excitement and spontaneity of this chaotic situation.

Knock off the shirt, knock off the gloves
Get rid of the superficial layers and defenses, and get to the heart of the matter.

Knock off the price, of my love
My love shouldn't come with a price tag or expectations attached.

Knock off this deer, in my headlights
Remove the feelings of being stunned or paralyzed, and take action to move forward.

Knock off my seed, and my wife
Leave behind my commitments and responsibilities, including my spouse and children.

I'm not through sleeping
I'm not done with my reckless behavior and search for temporary satisfaction.
