Lyrics

[00:17.97] I fried my head, I'm not a brunette
[00:21.43] I'm a down and dusky blonde
[00:25.56] I am living in a tree
[00:29.32] When I lie in bed I see
[00:33.27] Beyond my brother's head the moon, I hear the rain
[00:42.10] I am conscious of my voice as a tool
[00:45.13] It's more demure
[00:49.30] Than your friend the singing queen
[00:53.24] With her matinee good looks
[00:57.13] She talks like talking from a book
[01:01.03] I speak the language of my village, of my street
[01:09.87] But I need a friend and I choose you
[01:12.97] I tell you the way I feel
[01:17.06] The truth is crushing like a heel
[01:20.93] I will forget the kiss and feel if you will too
[01:30.11] It's a drag that you're getting old
[01:32.82] I love to think about the year
[01:36.94] When we sobbed and then we cheered
[01:40.92] The town deserted like a film
[01:44.93] Your torso crushing me
[01:48.53] Into the country and the tunnels and the fields
[02:37.37] I read a book a day, like an apple
[02:41.10] But I did not eat
[02:44.43] And so the doctor came to me
[02:48.43] She said a woman does not live
[02:52.57] By the printed word
[02:54.94] Forgive yourself and eat
[03:01.95] Autumn sped along outside
[03:04.91] Trick photography on speed
[03:09.05] I was locked inside a room
[03:13.11] They made a deal, they would control
[03:17.07] The simple things like bodies
[03:20.04] But I kept my soul
[03:26.33] When I need someone I chose you
[03:29.06] Because the fledgling soul awakes
[03:33.14] And on the balcony she quakes
[03:37.21] And she is waiting for the sign
[03:41.05] And when the brother does not come
[03:44.91] And when the sister's much too young, she chooses you
