I could be your cute little heartbreaker
& I could be your sweet little dreammaker
but you better get ready 'cause you're gonna know
I'm your favorite nightmare
fingers wrapped around throats
I'll tell you lies until I'm choked
but one of these days you're gonna know
I'm your favorite nightmare
left my loving back in San Francisco
left my promises down in Chicago
& one of these days you won't know where to go
wherever you run, all you're gonna know is
I'm your favorite nightmare

as she walked the stars fled
almost inhuman
there she was in front of me
like a manic dream
lightning in those eyes of hers
called out to me
& so I followed her
back into the trees
she told me she would love nobody
as the wind cut through
asked me could I love her
& I think she knew
I could see the moon at midnight
the shadows on her face
I knew right then that no one
could ever take her place
then the witch hunt started
they took her out of sight
so I disappeared
into the dark midnight

you never should've left my side in the late morning sun
all the words I wrote to you carry the weight of 40 tons
this new love of yours she will only break your heart
& every time she makes you laugh we're further from the start
the minister just grinned & made up another rule
she looks at us & sees just a bunch of forlorn fools
taking all our trusting with our money & our souls
leaving empty promises of stairways of gold
if your father doesn't kill you, boy, your naivety will
for every big step you take you slide further down the hill
this is the last verse I'll write for you so you better move along
when you drop the needle it never play my songs
all tied up in this little place where we never see the rain
we're gonna need it someday to level out the pain
falling over the milo all lined up in pretty rows
what the gods sent so incarnate, the thunder & the snow

flowers in her hair & time to spare
leaving came to leaving & then she was gone
she always did ask me to write her a song
what comes before me - the ghosts in the trees
is it true I'm only here to die?
do it quick so no one hears me cry
you & your dark eyes are all I can see
I can't be anyone else if I'm not even me
chasing after what's already gone
our time is here but not for very long

under my skin

no they won't be home tonight
they'll find no rest until sunlight
hear it pounding down the door
the beast will always ask for more
the candle's burning low & dim
the beast is begging to be let in
go on sink your claws in me
under my skin so I can breathe
the moon shines bright & full
stars will flash until tomorrow
here the laws are out of bounds
here the trees will eat our sounds
I will not ask you what is true
but shut my eyes to the deep blue
go on sink your claws in me
under my skin so I can breathe

you were shaking out the rain dance first I saw
shaking out your hair
since then you're long stares rarely ever more
see if I care
two summers in the rain finally poured down on us
but you weren't there
you hadn't talked to me in a week
not since you saw me smile
so I'll keep driving this car
keep on racking up the miles
& seeing how far I can go
the constant doubting's finally getting to me
the train's rolling but I can't stop it
not sure if I wanna move or if I just want to let myself get hit
honey will we ever change?
it's something less than fate
I'm tired of quiet longing & this all
I'm tired of taking wrong directions to find all the wrong dead ends & meet up with all the wrong friends
someday you're going to have to tell me
this isn't going the way you hoped
& while I'm drowning
you'll still be afloat
honey will we ever change?
it's something less than fate

I am standing on the paths of kings
of all the brave & sovereign beings
maybe I'm not ready yet
to step a dance I can't forget
my lips are blue against your face
here's the cue to take our place
I am the girl in death-defying acts
stoically taking down pieces of past
my ribs claw through my skin
waiting for us to come in
this is my state but it's not mine
I've been caged & dulled with time
one day I'll learn to write my name
some day I'll be able to carry the blame
my own words are harder to find
that's how I'm sure they're mine
I am the girl in death-defying acts
stoically taking down pieces of past
my ribs claw through my skin
waiting for us to come in
you look at me
like I'm a pagan shrine
& you're the Vatican
I can't see
I am the girl in death-defying acts
stoically taking down pieces of past
my ribs claw through my skin
waiting for us to come in
