[Verse 1]
I can borrow, if you've got the time
I never needed anybody's help to make up my mind
You won't be here long
Enough to stand out
You're on fi-fi-fire till everybody finds out

[Chorus]
Look what you've done, done to my head
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Done to my head, you've got me thinking
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on

[Verse 2]
Come tomorrow, it's a sign of the times
It's coming down now
Shelter won't save you my friend
So sit down till you learn
And sit down till you grow
You mi-mi-mi-might turn if you'd only let yourself go

[Chorus]
Look what you've done, done to my head
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Done to my head
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on

[Verse 3]
I see you depend over and over on logic
I can't understand
Who kept you floating, my friend?
Kept your head above water
Rough seas hit you harder
I should have just let you drown

[Outro]
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on

A very underrated band from Seattle, but was a little late to the grunge scene. Success wasn’t easy for them as all of the bands at that time in Seattle were growing and getting huge, most said they would get ignored. The group formed in 1990 and released their first studio album in 1993 self-titled.
