when me and the boys were out
we killed a thousand butterflies
so I put their wings into my mouth and said a prayer for our safe arrival

let me smang it girl. smash and bang. the way i work that kitty gonna make your heart sing.

leather elbows on a tweed coat
oh
is that the best you can do?

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering
It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering

it's been a bad day
please don't take my picture

i took the fast track, considered crying
i was stopped in customs
quite proud of the knack i have of knowing
when it's over

you're safer with me here

with a bit of ice under my clothes
my tongue against the teeth
i think of nothing
walk around the house in the cold
til it hurts to breathe
I think of nothing

I once used to chase
affection withdrawn
but now I just sit back and yawn

Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes
Mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning
But I'm sheltered by my channel-surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

Sittin here restin my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone

you know some girls are bright as the morning
and some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind

Have you ever felt the presence of a brain?
We have all seen them standing amidst the surprise
Sometimes a man smiles at what i often wonder
You can tell he's a thinker by the far away look in his eyes
The far away look in his eyes

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!

her coattails hung down to her knees
she pulled her stockings to her thighs
but the war takes all the warmth from her eyes
