the early cars
already are
drawing deep breaths past my door
and last night's phrases
sick with lack of basis
are still writhing on my floor
and it doesn't seem fair
that your wicked words should work
in holding me down
no, it doesn't seem right
to take information
given at close range
for the gag
and the bind
and the ammunition round
conversation once colored by esteem
became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood
took a vacation, my palate got clean
now i could taste your agenda
while you're spitting your cud
and it doesn't make sense
i should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
no, it doesn't seem right
to take information
given at close range
for the gag
and the bind
and the ammunition round
this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i can't stop falling out
this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i can't stop falling out
i miss that stupid ache...
what is this posture
i have to stare at
that's what he said when i'm sittin' up straight
change the name of the game 'cause he lost
and he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
but i'm not being fair
'cause i chose to listen to that filthy mouth
but i'd like to choose right
take all the things that i've said that he stole
put 'em in a sack
swing 'em over my shoulder
turn on my heels
step out of this sight
try to live in a lovelier light
this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i cant stop falling out
this is not about love
'cause i am not in love
in fact i cant stop falling out
i miss that stupid ache....

a little web wedge for those who lunch on lyrics.
lyrically delicious....
i created this space for all of us who hang on every word. who sing along. who let lyrics dance inside our heads, penetrate our souls and live in our hearts. for all of us who have ever lacked words and found them in a song. for all of us who not only hear, but listen. for all of us...
please feel free to post lyrics, or write your own lyrics, or request lyrics... whether song, line or verse... share what moves you; both physically & emotionally.
sing.
lyrically nutritious....
chorus!

you need to hear this song....i love the lyrics alone, but it's really the kind of song that both lyrics and music intertwine to make their point...i realize most music is intended to be this way, otherwise it would be a poem, obviously, but she wrote it in such a way that the music literally punctuates the lyrics...imo, anyway...
oh and if you do hear it, if possible you should listen to the version that got 'leaked' before sony put out the album, it's much better. (and for the record, i DID buy the album after i acquired the leaked version. 'cause i'm like that)
remind me to listen... cuz i really want to hear.
