Dessa Darling - 551 lyrics

rate me

(Rap)

She's a latter day saint

But she's a Saturday sinner

Suicide Sunday dessert for weekends drinking her dinner

The worry keeps her slender

The pills keep her awake

Her man can't make her happy but he helps to still the shakes

I met her boyfriend at the bar he said he'd stick to beer

Said I could keep the cocktails, martinis taste like tears

I asked if he would leave her

What with all the grief

He passed the pitcher back to me and asked what I believe

I said virginity is a childhood disease

And these days it seems have interest for the addict thief

Patience for the epigrammatic, the brief

There's only four ways to aquire

Anyone who says different is a salesman or a liar

you can find it, earn it, make it or steal it

I haven't found a single way to keep it

Cause you can leash it, it'll leave

You can teach it to stay and it'll leave

You can case and display, decay and waste it away

And day by day it leaves you by degrees

He put his hand on my knee, sometimes that's what it takes

He doesn't make me happy but he helps to still the shakes

(Chorus-Sung)

Put all your words away

For all the noise you make

You were always safe

You were always

You were always

You were always safe

With me

safe in sleep

(Rap)

Congratulations to the dry eyes

Consolations to the nice guys

And condensation's on the underside of everything I touch

I seem to chill the objects that I meant so much to love

A man can keep you sane five-hundred-and-fifty days

A year and a half, give or take an afternoon

We should have sooner left the train but we made it

I guess that makes us the survivors

tomour blooming in my brain, I hate it

But it makes the colors brighter

It's like the anesthesia despite the man that leaves ya

Like the sad disease you contracted while sitting boring and bored

Come back with a lab report

Your nervous disorder

Only the rich are afforded

(Sung)

Safe with me

Safe in sleep

(Chorus-Sung)

Put all your words away

For all the noise you make

You were always safe

You were always

You were always

You were always safe

With me

And I'm too polite

To accuse you of being

Where you've been tonight
