Amanda Palmer

Ampersand
I walk down my street at night The city lights are cold and violent I am comforted by the approaching sound of trucks and sirens. Even though the world's so bad These men rush out to help the dying And though I am no use to them I do my part by simply smiling The ghetto boys are cat calling me As I pull my keys from my pocket I wonder if this method of courtship has ever been effective Has any girl in history said "Sure. You seem so nice, let's get it on." Still I always shock them when I answer "Hi, my name's, Amanda." And I'm not gonna live my life On one side of an ampersand And even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am And I'm not gonna match you 'Cause I'll loose my voice completely No I'm not gonna watch you 'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy I have wasted years of my life Letras de cancionesAgonizing about the fires I started when I thought To be strong you must be flame retardant And now to dress the wounds called into question How authentic they are There is always someone criticizing me She just likes playing hospital Lying in my bed I remember what you said There's no such thing as accidents But you've got the headstones all ready All carved up and pretty Your sick satisfaction Knows his and her matching The daisies all push up In pairs to the horizon Your eyes full of ketchup It's nice that you're trying (x2) And I'm not gonna live my life On one side of an ampersand And even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am And I'm not gonna match you 'Cause I'll loose my voice completely No I'm not gonna watch you 'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy As I wake up to a cough The fire burned the block But ironically stopped at my apartment And my housemates all are sleeping soundly And nobody deserves to die but you Were awful adamant That if I didn't love you Then you had just one alternative And I may be romantic And I may risk my life for it But I ain't gonna die for you You know I ain't no Juliet And I'm not gonna watch you While you burn yourself out, baby No I'm not gonna stop you 'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy (Thanks to Brittany for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
