Sudden Organ Lyrics

Will you stare, will you stare as the final curtain starts to fall
Will you watch, will you watch with closing eyes, with closing eyes
Everyone, everyone's a little worried, you know I am
But I hate to watch the days go by, watch the days go by
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...

Well I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that I want to shoot it in the back

As the days go by, I'm stepping on them all like ants
I've seen the way that they look at you
Maybe you, or maybe not a guess, we'll know it after a while
I'm wondering just how this will stop, how's it gonna stop
Another day, another time, another way for the moment, watch it for a sign...
when to be mine

Cover art for Sudden Organ lyrics by Yo La Tengo

I think it's about waiting, watching, for death. Everyone is at least a little worried about it, even the people who say they don't fear death. People can become fine with not doing anything... but in the end they'll wake up and realize they've been sitting around, "watching the days go by" and they hate it.

You step on the days as they go by like ants, like they're worthless. We'll know everything after awhile, in the end. How will it stop? How will I die? Where's the sign? When will it be mine? My turn to die?

Beautiful song. :)
