Neko Case - Middle Cyclone lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Baby, why'm I worried now, <br>

Did someone make a fool of me <br>

'fore I could show 'em how it's done? <br>

Can't give up actin' tough, <br>

It's all that I'm made of. <br>

Can't scrape together quite enough <br>

To ride the bus to the outskirts <br>

Of the fact that I need love. <br>

<br>

There were times that I tried, <br>

One for every glass of water <br>

That I spilled next to the bed, <br>

Wretching pennies in a boiling well <br>

In a dream that it once becomes <br>

A foundry of mute and heavy bells. <br>

They shake me deaf and dumb <br>

Say, "Someone made a fool of me <br>

'fore I could show 'em how it's done." <br>

<br>

It was so clear to me <br>

That it was almost invisible. <br>

I lie across the path waiting, <br>

Just for a chance to be a spiderweb <br>

Trapped in your lashes. <br>

For that, I would trade you my empire for ashes. <br>

But I choke it back, how much I need love...<br>

<BR><BR>
