On The Sly

Metric · Grow Up and Blow Away [2002]

Wipe it up, you're capable

Of putting back a few

When you have to

Memorize the history of your body

Like a virgin

Ladies' night, 80's night

The kids get high and eat TV

So do we

For Halloween

I want to be Lenny Bruce



I want them to hate me (I want them to hate me)

I want them to hate me (I want them to hate me)

I want them to hate me

So you can love me on the sly



My old flame broke the twelve bar blues

Just to prove he could

He pays the airline DJs now

He is everywhere



I want him to hate me (I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me (I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me

So you can love me on the sly

I want him to hate me (I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me

I don't feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly



Fill me in on horrible

How much is there

Where else can I live?

The dirty sugar factory

On the water, on the water

Should smell sweet



I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don't feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly



I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don't feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly



I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don't feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly
