THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - Missy lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Missy got off the bus one day in a crowded depot, downtown LA<br>

She looked around as if to say, 'I'm home'<br>

Well I'm home<br>

<br>

I find someone to love<br>

And some place to drink<br>

And some time when I can just sit and think<br>

And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones<br>

Lord, of these drones<br>

Just as long as I'm never alone<br>

<br>

She had eyes as big as porcelain plates<br>

And skin as thin as paper drapes<br>

And she loved the Lord the way an apostate loves songs<br>

And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep,<br>

"I pray to you, my soul to keep<br>

You're shepherd, then I'll be your sheep until dawn<br>

Oh until dawn<br>

Well I'd follow you, even if it was wrong"<br>

<br>

I met her one night at the coffee shop<br>

Her face so bright, my heart just stopped<br>

Hello my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem<br>

Not what I seem<br>

I should've become a better man<br>

I should be more deserving than<br>

The beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been<br>

Oh, that I've been<br>

Well I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams<br>

<br>

But I swear there's still some good in me<br>

And I think if you stuck around you'd see<br>

All the honest attempts at integrity, I was had<br>

Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right<br>

I stay awake every night, staring at the ceiling<br>

Wondering why I feel so bad, why I feel so bad<br>

Oh I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad<br>

<BR><BR>
