she says too much
when she sleepwalks around
her hips are a warm sarcophagus
she's so sadistic
when she's sobering up,
self-destructive and sexy
when the weather's hot
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
and i want her to know
that my heart is on the road
she fences heartbreak across the border
and builds a better bird house out of oak
she laughs when the main protagonist's family dies
and i wouldn't trust her when she cries at night
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
and i want her to know
that my heart is on the road
(Incoherent shouts)
...bird shot and left in the desert to die
(Incoherent shouts)
...bird shot and left in the desert to die
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of stone
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't carved of bone
and i want her to know
that my heart ain't a bar of soap
and i want her to know
that my heart is just as cold
Why do we do
The things we do
even though i know we are
what should i say
it's already been said better
one hundred times before
it's so lovely
when the worlds collide
and the ship spins out of control
