Amanda Palmer & The Grand Thft Orchestra - Melody Dean lyrics

rate me

I never met a lady

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean

And when I laid my head

Down on her heart

It beated out your name

And so I had to listen

To her heartbeat

Several hundred times

And she was very nice about it

Held my hand and didn't mind

I never put my foot in the same river twice

I don't like getting wet

You take the good

You take the bad

You take it all

And that is all you get

The fact is you would rather I be lonely

In a bathtub with a book

The fact is you would rather I sat pining

On our pictures from New York

New York, New York, New York

But I get torn to pieces

For the stupidest reasons

All I want's to love the one I'm with

Just like the song says

I don't like picking sides

I don't like sticking

My Cherona in a box

I like to spread her out on different crackers, yeah

I like the way she looks

And when I go to bed at night

With Melody undressing in my head

To get to sleep

You know that I would rather be undressing you instead

Instead, instead, instead

I never met a lady

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean

And even though I know you are

A little bit angry with me

You know that it is you I love

And you I want to get me off

But you can only do that when you're here

And right now you are not

I never cross the Continental Divide

Without thinking about you

I am a tree that's carved up with her name

She is a warrior tattoo

And the fact is you're selective

About what you can remember for a start

The fact is you're just jealous as all get out

We can do it in the dark

The dark, the dark, the dark

But I get torn to pieces for the stupidest reasons

All I want's to love the one I'm with

Like Stephen Stills says

I never met a lady

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean

And even though I know you are

A little bit angry with me

You know that it is you I love

And you I want to get me off

But you can only do that when you're here

And right now you are not
