Jody |
You give us bread, you keep us warm |
What I do for you in turn |
I leave you with this memory stained |
Between the sheets, under the rain |
Your face is pale, your lips are red |
Your eyes are dark, you might be dead |
But I will hold you even then |
Until you breathe and I am fed |
Jodi, my dear |
I’m sorry but I must disappear |
I leave you with a song and a tear |
Just please don’t wash away |
This is my crutch |
You had me at the face and the touch |
But I can only give you so much |
Before it goes away |
You could be my end |
You could be my end |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
But you’re still telling me |
What I want, what I need |
Till I can’t even be |
Here on my own |
And in the dark and on the floor |
The bottle caps, well they just pour |
And you can tell I want you more |
Beyond the few, beyond the storm |
But this won’t stay, yeah I confess |
That I am not what you have guessed |
I’m just a whore and nothing less |
And I won’t stop until I rest |
Roll into town with thunder |
On our backs, heads are proud |
We wander through your gates and your crowd |
To ponder what we’ll take |
And though you are far |
I keep you in a place in my heart |
And never let the beast tear apart |
What happened there in May |
You could be my end |
You could be my end |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
We can do this on our own |
But you’re still telling me |
What I want, what I need |
Till I can’t even be |
Here on my own |
