Amanda Palmer & The Grand Thft Orchestra - Trout Heart Replica

they've been circling

they've been circling

since the day they were born

it's disturbing

how they're circling

fifty feet from the pond

pretty often

pretty often

i don't want to be told

it's a problem

it's a problem

it's a problem i know

and i won't keep what i can't catch in my bare hands without a net

it's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences

they've been jerking

they've been jerking

in a pail by the dock

i know that oxygen might

make them blossom and die

but i'm not going to talk

feed them details

feed them emails

they'll eventually grow

but it's not working

it's not working

not as far as i know

and killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part

and when the wizard gets to me i'm asking for a smaller heart

and i got you

i thought that i got you

now i'll ruin it all

feeling helpless

acting selfish

being human and all

and they're jumping

and they're jumping

but they'll never get out

just keep touring

just keep on ignoring

be a good little trout

and the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block

he raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise

WAIT we'll trade you

WAIT

please just one more day

and then we'll go with no complaining

no complaining

no complaining

no complaining

stop

come

and they're cutting

and they're cutting

and i think that i know

and they're gutting

and they're gutting

and i think that i know

and it's beating

look, it's beating

and i don't want to know

and it's beating

LOOK, ITS STILL BEATNG

god i don't want to know

and killing things is not so hard

it's hurting that's the hardest part

and when the wizard gets to me

i'm asking for a smaller heart

and if he tells me "no"

i'll hold my breath until i hit the floor

eventually i'm know i'm doomed

to get what i am asking for...

...now my heart is exactly the size

of a six-sided die cut in half

made of ruby red stained glass

can i knock you unconscious as long as i promise

i'll love you and i'll make you laugh?

now my heart is exactly the size

of a six-sided die cut in half

made of ruby red stained glass

can i knock you unconscious as long as i promise

i'll love you and i'll make you laugh?
