Lyrics Backslidin' - Speedy Ortiz

Backslidin'

Took a walk in the sunlight
'Cause it wasn’t a bad night
Breaking your furniture up with steel-toed boots
Swapping sweat in a steam room
You transformed into beast form
Said you’d see me soon
Soon enough we were waking up
As a two for one
Now I guess we’re backsliding into hell
Into hell
Into hell
But at least we know each other well
When I finish the program
You’ll be stepping it up
Gaiting straight in Japan
Piggyback to the scratch off sale
And salute me there
I guess we’re backsliding
Into hell
Into hell
Into hell
But at least we know each other well
Through all of this kissing and tattle-telling
Stricture’s getting murky
But I do perceive our clan’s destiny
I guess we’ll have to wait to be friends
To be friends
But at least we know each other
Here in hell
Here in hell
Here in hell
But at least we know each other still
Seeing you is the highlight
In a saccharine movie I’ve gotta keep on mute
