WOMAN SONG

Sitting in bed with you, no pills

Just like I've done a thousand times before

But I'm not as inspired as I was ten years before

Oh, no

They say Sing right through the hard parts, you'll get to something good. But without you by my side, love, I just wanna be adored

When the truth is I just want to be a dork again

With you in my arms again Like you were on the first day

And you still look so beautiful

So still, so frail

So white, so pale

Just like your mom, not like Shifra's son

I miss her oh so much but I'm afraid to call Okay, it's gonna be okay

Because Daddy's here still breathing

Seeping out the venom

Seeping out the alcohol

And drugs and blood and cum and death and all the things they have left To show for what they killed the people for

I can't stand living through this Stand

I'm no Stephen King

I am the poor man's Christopher Carrabba But you're by my side right now

You're by my side for now

And that's all I need

Sitting in bed with you, no pills

Just like I've done since you were born

And I hope someday you'll come back home Because I miss my mom

After all she's done, I still miss my mom

But I can't talk to her until I'm allowed to

And she comes back to help

The jar

The jarring noise shakes the baby in its formaldehyde

But I can't hide anymore

With you in the bed and the sun in my eyes And the light in the day

For you I can try

For you I can try

For you I can try

For you I can try

They can't fucking take you from me

I will find you and I will be by yours side

In bed with you

No pills

No fucking pills
