Big Dipper Lyrics – Built to Spill

Once...

When I was little someone pointed out to me
Some constellations but the big dipper's all I could see
That brontasaurus must have stood a thousand miles high
That brontasaurus laying on its side up in the sky

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?
You should have been here last night
And heard what the big dipper said to me

Jack thought it twice and thought that that had made it true
Some brains just work that way, that's what chemicals can do
He thought he'd have a beer, he thought he was alone
He thought an Albertson's stir fry dinner would make his apartment a home

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?
You should have been here last night
And heard what the big dipper said to me

I thought I bored me but I learned to think like you
Now nothing bores me that's that nothing is thought through

Bottoms up and this time, won't you let me be?
Bottled up but this time, won't you rescue me?
Thought it out and this time it's all I can see
You should have been here last night
And heard what the big dipper said
