Missy
(专辑: The Airborne Toxic Event - 2009)
Missy got off the
bus one day in a
crowded depot, downtown LA She looked around as if to say, "I'm home Well I'm home" "I'll find someone to love And some place to drink And some time when I
can just sit and think And I
don't mind if I
catch the
stink of these drones Lord, of these drones Just as long as I'm never alone" She had eyes as big as porcelain plates And skin as thin as paper drapes And she loved the
Lord the
way an apostate loves psalms And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep, "I pray to you, my soul to keep If you're a
shepherd, then I'll be your sheep until dawn Oh until dawn Well I'd follow you, even if it was wrong" I
met her one night at the
coffee shop Her face so bright, my heart just stopped "Hello my dear, I
fear I'm not what I
seem I'm not what I
seem I
should've become a
better man I
should be more deserving than The
beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been Oh, that I've been Well I
swear, I
lie, I
curse all of my dreams" "But I
swear there's still some good in me And I
think if you stuck around you'd see All the
honest attempts at integrity I
once had" "Maybe you could help me to get it right: Why I
stay awake almost every night Staring at the
ceiling, wondering why I
feel so bad Why I
feel so bad" Oh I
swear, I
swear, I
swear I'll never get sad
