Pity Dance

I'm leaving out the parts I don't like
Oh I ought to learn, I ought to learn
I can't please myself every time
Bring me sunflowers and bring me a
Landscape of clouds and rain
Let the sky give up her
Many heavy hammered warnings
I'll take her warning
But you assumed, when I left
Mommy would wash my body back to you
Back to you

How many things? How many things
Can I say to you
And expect shock horror, shock
Horror, shock horror, hallelujah
To descend again in sweet oblation
Your god's a lion recently fed: drowsy
And the body, the body, the body, the body
The body it wait's for obliteration
Come on fire don't leave me waiting for the
World to replace me replace me
Oh, replace me

I'll tell the truth
I have been sleeping with the lights on
Ever since I left you since I left you
