Alexandra

Come Monday morning You may find me dead You may not find my body But you may find my head In a motel closet Or under a motel bed Oh, this is the life that I lead And you will say "I saw it coming It was only a matter of time The way you dressed You must have really wanted to die They set fire to people like you Just for looking them in the eye Oh, this is the life they chose to lead" But I don't care What people do I just want you to see me You don't have to love me too Alexandra Little sister I'm holding onto you Well, you see, Mother's catatonic She hides inside her mind She thinks the devil has visited her In her bedroom once or twice How else could she explain Why I am going to hell Oh, I must be under something else's spell And my father's got his bayonet He's calling up his friends He says "Once you dishonor us That's where my patience ends" And your message ends with "Watch your back You've really done it now Oh, I hope you're staying very far from town" But I never hurt anyone If you don't count me I've got a big hole in my heart And spent a year just watching it bleed Alexandra Little sister Tell me, what do you think about me? Well, I live in the city I never come to the country But I would risk my life If you would only ask me to Alexandra Little sister I'd risk my life for you
