AMANDA PALMER AMPERSAND LYRICS
AMPERSAND LYRICS by AMANDA PALMER:
From Amanda Palmer's new album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer)
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
Agonizing 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
[ Ampersand lyrics from
http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/a/amanda_palmer/ampersand/ ] 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
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
