Lyrics: Stephen Malkmus. Malediction.

So long
Good bye to the nervous apprehension
I certainly won't miss ya
My heart is unable to stay so unstable no more

Go now
Leave this house and if you do not know how
You'll learn along the way
The road to rejection is better than no road at all

If I see your negative shadow

I will lead it from the room
A media-sized headache is not enough to break it
If you've already assumed the malediction, malediction

Certain
Kinds of people that we like to know, yeah
And others gotta go
If you wait 'til you're ready, then you'll never make an amends
