"Diminishing Shine" lyrics - GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR

You gotta get yourself a cheap pair
You gotta get yourself a cheap pair of plastic sunglasses
Or really cheap pair of plastic wrap arounds
And you get 'em just down the street
It's four bucks, for the pair of-
You should stock up, you should buy three or four pairs
Really, no one ever fucks with you- put 'em on
No one fucks with you, I mean cheap
It's better than a wig, or a really stupid hair cut, or a nose ring
You jus-
You ever get afraid on the bus? I mean you ever get-
You ever get scared on the bus, or the subway
You ever get afraid of it?

We're all really high, and I was sitting on the couch
Were all sitting on the couch, we're all really high

And no one had said a word for a long, long time
I was just staring at the TV set
I had the fear, I had the fear really bad
And to think "this is it, I'm going to die"
