Precious Things |
so i ran faster
but it caught me here
yes my loyalties turned
like my ankle
in the seventh grade
running after BILLY
running after the rain
these precious things
let them bleed
let them wash away
these precious things
let them break their hold over me
he said you're really an ugly girl
but i like the way you play
and i died
but i thanked him
can you believe that sick sick
holding on to his picture
dressing up every day
i wanna smash the faces
of those beautiful BOYS
those christian boys
so you can make me cum
that doesn't make you jesus
these precious things
let them bleed
let them wash away
these precious things
let them break their hold over me
i remember
yes in my peach party dress
no one dared
no one cared
to tell me where the pretty girls are
those demigods
with their NINE-INCH nails
and little fascist panties
tucked inside the
heart of every nice girl
these precious things
let them bleed
let them wash away
these precious things
let them break
let them wash away
these these precious things
let them bleed now
let them wash away
these these precious things
let them break
their hold over me
precious
and with a wink
and a smile
you toss your instructions on
how to catch a train
while it's moving
you always were the one
that kept us all guessing
how you could survive
the fall you had
from medicine men
to my dj friends
they all have said
"he's got to watch his back"
they're trapping angels
by the potomac
but it's not how you think
you'd be surprised
they liberate
your dreamscape
till you can't remember
to recall
where your wings
have gone
tell me where they've gone
from jordan to chicago
another child is born
trusting that we'll get it
right this time
i should've worn my glasses
you said just to trust
then you chose
to sign the dotted line
from modern magdalenes
to my dj friends
they all have said
"he's got to watch his back"
they're trapping angels
by the potomac
but it's not how you think
you'd be surprised
they liberate
your dreamscape
till you can't remember
to recall
where your wings
have gone
before i close my eyes at night
i can still see you smilin'
before the truth was
buried alive
did we prize it
before you change the world
maybe boy you should change
your girl
they're trapping angels
by the potomac
they're trapping angels
lord i know this
they're trapping angels
by the potomac
but we're getting closer
i said we're getting closer
to where they've gone
tell me where they've gone
now it won't be long
excuse me but
can i be you for a while
my DOG won't bite
if you sit real still
i got the anti-christ
in the kitchen
yellin' at me again
yeah i can hear that
been saved again
by the garbage truck
i got something to say
you know but NOTHING comes

you never shut up
yeah i can hear that
but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his
with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes i said
sometimes i hear my voice
and it's been
HERE silent all these years
so you found a girl
who thinks really deep thoughts
what's so amazing
about really deep thoughts
boy you best pray
that i bleed real soon
how's that thought for you
my scream got lost in a paper cup
you think there's a heaven
where some screams have gone
i got 25 bucks and a cracker
do you think it's enough
to get us there
but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his
with her name still on it
hey but i don't care
cause sometimes i said
sometimes i hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these
years go by will i still be waiting
for somebody else to understand
years go by if i'm stripped of my beauty
and the orange clouds raining in my head
years go by will i choke on my tears
till finally there is nothing left
one more casualty
you know we're to EASY easy easy
well i love the way we communicate
your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
let's hear what you think of me now

the sky is falling
your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress
it's your turn now to stand where i stand
everybody lookin' at you
here take hold of my hand

but what if i'm a mermaid
in these jeans of his with her name still on it

every day
i crucify myself
and my HEART is sick of being
in chains
got a kick for a dog
beggin' for LOVE
i gotta have my suffering
so that i can have my cross
i know a cat named easter
he says will you ever learn
you're just an empty cage girl
if you kill the bird
i've been looking for a savior

looking for a savior
beneath these dirty sheets
i've been raising up my hands
drive another nail in
got enough GUILT to start
my own religion

crucify myself
every day i crucify myself
and my HEART is sick of being in chains

looking for a savior
in these dirty streets
looking for a savior
beneath these dirty sheets

5am friday morning
thursday night far from sleep
i'm still up and driving
can't go home obviously
so i'll just change direction
cause they'll soon know where i live
and i wanna live
got a full tank and some chips
it was me and a gun
and a man on my back
and i sang "holy holy"
as he buttoned down his pants
you can laugh
its kind of funny
things you think
times like these
like i haven't seen BARBADOS
so i must get out of this
yes i wore a slinky red thing
does that mean i should spread
for you, your friends
your father, mr ed
it was me and a gun
and a man on my back
but i haven't seen BARBADOS
so i must get out of this
and i know what this means
me and jesus a few years back
used to hang
and he said "it's your choice babe
just remember
i don't think you'll be back
in 3 days time so you choose well"
tell me whats right
is it my right to be on my stomach
of fred's seville
it was me and a gun
and a man on my back
but i haven't seen BARBADOS
so i must get out of this
and do you know CAROLINA
where the biscuits
are soft and sweet
these things go through your head
when there's a man on your back
and you're pushed flat on your stomach
it's not a classic cadillac
it was me and a gun
and a man on my back
but i haven't seen BARBADOS
so i must get out of this
i haven't seen BARBADOS
so i must get out of this
father i killed my monkey
i let it out
to taste the sweet of spring
wonder if i will wander out
test my tether to
see if i'm still free
from you
steady as it comes
right down
to you
i've said it all
so maybe we're a bliss
of another kind
lately, i'm into circuitry
what it means to be
made of you but not enough for you
and i wonder if
you can bilocate is that what i taste
your supernova juice
you know it's true i'm part of you
steady as it comes
right down to you
i've said it all
so maybe you're a 4 horse engine
with a power drive
a hot kachina who wants into mine
take it with your terracide
we're a bliss
of another kind
in my platforms
i hit the floor
fell face down
didn't help my brain out
then the baby came
before i found
the magic how
to keep her happy
i never was the fantasy
of what you want
wanted me to be
don't judge me so harsh little girl
so you got a playboy mommy
but when you tell them my name
from here to birmingham
i got a few friends
i never was there was there when it counts
i get my way
you're so like me
you seemed ashamed
ashamed that i was
a good friend of american soldiers
i'll say it loud here by your grave
those angels can't
ever take my place
somewhere where the the orchids grow
i can't find those church bells
that played when you died
played gloria
talkin bout
hosanah, yes
don't judge me so harsh little girl
you got a playboy mommy, come home
so when you tell them soldiers my name
you'll cross that bridge all on your own
little girl, they'll do you no harm
'cause they know your playboy mommy
i'll be home
i'll be home
to take you in my arms
baker baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and i wonder what's in a day
what's in your cake this time
i guess you heard he's gone to l.a.
he says that behind my eyes i'm hiding
and he tells me i pushed him away
that my heart's been hard to find
here
there must be something here
there must be something here
here
baker baker can you explain
if truly his heart was made of icing
and i wonder how mine could taste
maybe we could change his mind
i know you're late for your next parade
you came to make sure that i'm not running
well i ran from him in all kinds of ways
guess it was his turn this time
time
thought i'd make friends with time
thought we'd be flying
maybe not this time
baker baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and i wonder if he's ok
if you see him say hi
all the world just stopped now
so you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
let me take a deep breath babe
if you need me, me and neil'll be
hangin' out with the DREAM KING
neil says hi by the way
i don't believe you're leaving cause
me and charles manson like the same ice cream
i think it's that girl
and i think there're pieces of me
you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me
you've never seen well
all the world is
all i am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is DANGLIN'...
danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN'
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
that tear in your hand
maybe i ain't used to maybes
smashing in a cold room
cutting my hands up
every time i touch you
maybe maybe it's time
to wave goodbye now
time to wave goodbye now
caught a ride with the moon
i know i know you well
well better than i used to
HAZE all clouded up my mind
in the DAZE of the why
it could've never been
so you say and i say
you know you're full of wish
and your "baby baby baby babies"
i tell you there're pieces of me
you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me
you've never seen well
all the world is
all i am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is DANGLIN'...
danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN'
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
that tear in your hand
with that tear in your hand

and when i promised my hand
you promised me back
snow cherries from france
and then one day he said
"girl it's been nice,
oh, but i have to go sailing"
with cinnamon lips
that did not match his eyes
oh then he let me go
