Lyrics

Spent her childhood in the soft architecture of wings
Spent her teething with the world around her heaving
Oh my lord what have you done to this lamb
Sent her on a path to the slaughter house
Oh my father what have you whispered to her
What trophies do you shine in her presence
What promises does she inherit
Sent her on a tilt right home to you
Sent her the summons back to you
And then he spoke
"The girl wanted to be a singer
And I knew that
So I tested her limits
You can understand
It's what that life demands
And though she saw how
I work, I worked the others
She couldn't see the strings leading her shoulders in shudders
She came to know me well
But to love me a little less
Of course, what did I expect"
She found some place amongst the beer and the brawls
With her pencils and her demons and more
She saw how small she had to make herself (she saw how small)
To fit in this blessed world of yours
The way she had to crawl (see how she crawls)
Some men like to read into this but it's just the way it is
For some women
For some women
For some women
"That girl wasn't a saint
But you know that
She tore my word apart
To build the world anew
Fancied herself the bitter glue
That eager life
Now re-arranged
The one I tended
Like Bosch she rendered
On the walls of her flat
In the house that two girls used to play in
Could you imagine that"
Let her speak
"I think I became a Siren
Wrought in mythology and violence
You have to understand me
I tell them secrets in the corner of the bar
Bring them home to my piano
So they can anchor my writhing thought
A red light on the white barcode of my arm
Buy me with delusions and invocations of art
Take them to the cellar to play my music
I hold them down, make them breathe in
I sang so sweet
They'd swear they left with a god"
(Sweetly, sweetly)
"You got religion and I've got a broken ATM
It's a cold hunk of metal but it serves me just the same
My sister down on her knees
Daily, nightly the bloody bed
I read the bible backwards to disturb her
The red hills, the silver sun simply makes her yours again
(yours again)
And again (yours again)
And again
And again
And again (yours again)
And again
And a -
