Mademoiselle X Writes a Letter Home

[Verse 1]
I drowned the day I learned to swim
I guess that's just the ocean's whim
My scoundrel soul it will divide
By the years of this mistaken life

[Chorus]
Oh no, never
Oh no, never, no more

[Verse 2]
I was born on the day I died
An infant's crib and a grave beside
When the reaper comes I'll pack my things
And on the ride here we'll teach me to sing

[Chorus]
Oh no, never
Oh no, never, no more

[Verse 3]
The prairies, they will stroke our skin
And everything will all begin
Until then I am a stone of flesh
Or a wall without pictures hung on it

[Chorus]
Oh no, never, oh
Oh no, never, no more

[Instrumental]

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
I wish I thought I was deceased
My heart would slip beneath the crease
Of this wrinkled gown they made me wear
Through the countless hours of this sitting and this staring
