Lyrics I Killed Sara V. - Lowell

I Killed Sara V.

I killed Sara V
Rest in peace.
We loved her dearly
I woke up, and there was she
Standing low and limp before me
And I reached to find a breath
My fingertips along her chest
Her lingerie on the floor, defibrillate her heart
And kiss her lip gloss sweet
So long sweet Sara V
So long sweet Sara V
Please exorcise me
Please, please exorcise me
I woke up on a Saturday night
Didn’t feel like trying, but I missed the real life
Sippin' on caffeine, wakin' at 5
Working 9 to 9, and whinin' about
My bank account going down by the minute
With the suits on bank
I hoped to see me thrive
And not too long 'till I find myself
Gettin' high with strangers, takin' a trip to
Heaven with a bottle of gin in hand
Hopin' high would help me swallow everything
I lose myself with your body beside me
Lying lifeless, helpless, heaven help us
Hope for the boys on the lower east side
Throwin' back their hearts on the lifeline
Makin' a dime
So long Sara V
So long Sara V
So long Sara V
So long
And the girls undressed on the high street
Callin' it quits just to get a little bit
And I hope someday you and I will find the life
Through the world in the suburbs, there we hide
So long Sara V
So long Sara V
So long Sara V
So long
Take a little breath, take a little breath
Everybody knows that we can’t go down from here
And the kids in the wilderness
Never been stopped by the cops for the color of their skin
And I think too bad, nearly everyone who can
Buy my record has the money to keep themselves
From knowing that the truth is that you get rich and
Everyone else just lies beneath you
So long Sara V
So long
