Frida got on the wall with me

and fell to the floor alone

nothing could be harder

Frida taught me the things that I couldn’t know

she had her way with me

I guess it could be harder

she said don’t accept these waves and storms and their perfect lightning

they all just wash away once they’ve rattled your bones

don’t accept these waves and storms when they get frightening

they’ll just wash away and they’ll leave you alone

Frida she was my heroine

she’d fight the boys that I couldn’t fight

she’d earn a hard day into the night

Frida distinguished and forthright

she might have collapsed under pressure and air

but she’d always be there

she said don’t accept these waves and storms and their perfect lightning

they all just wash away once they’ve rattled your bones

don’t accept these waves and storms when they get frightening

they’ll just wash away and they’ll leave you alone

they’ll leave you alone

I swear they’ll leave you alone

and then you’re left alone

right?

they walk in so late speaking of freedom and if you might survive

and the things you threw away as if anyone had any choice

and who would steer you wrong

so go and set them all up like a city without lights

riding a line between grief and the night

between hope and falling down

nothing could be harder

so Frida got on a wall with me

and fell to the floor alone

no nothing could be harder

she said don’t accept these waves and storms and their perfect lightning

they all just wash away once they’ve rattled your bones

don’t accept these waves and storms when they get frightening

they’ll just wash away and they’ll leave you alone

you alone

you alone

Frida
