Patti Smith - Banga

This Is the Girl

This is the girl for whom all tears fall
This is the girl who was having a ball
Just a dark smear masking the eyes
Spirited away, buried in size

This is the girl that crossed the line
This is the song about smothering fine
Twisted as laurel to crown her head
Laid as a wreath upon her bed

This is the girl

This the blood that turned into wine
This is the wine of the house, it is said
This is the girl who yearned to be heard
So much for cradling a smoldering bird

This is the girl
This is the girl

This is the girl for whom all tears fall
This is the girl who was having a ball
This is the laurel to crown her head
This is the wine of the house, it is said

This the blind that turned in wine
This is the wine of the house, it is said
This is the girl who cried to be heard
So much for cradling a smoldering bird

This is the girl
This is the girl
This is the girl (this is the girl, this is the girl)
