Superstition

Look, I'm caught between my luck and your good faith
You follow like a lost dog, found, caught
Superstition turned to law in a bad place
You hallow for a small, fraught, false god

Have you heard of the girl turned beast
She was plain and pretty
When they fed her to the sea
They said fates be kind
Bound her eyes and knees
And she kicked
And she cried
But she never once screamed, no

And now I hear she sings a song by the deep blue
They say she's lovely as she was if not a little cruel
She sings alone
She sheds no tear
She eats them whole
Just to keep them near

Oh she eats them whole
But she keeps their ears

Look, I'm caught between my luck and your good faith
You follow like a lost dog, found, caught
Superstition turned to law in a bad place
You hallow for a small, fraught, false god

And she'll say anything
And she'll say, and she'll say
And she'll say anything
And she'll say, and she'll say

Have you heard
The girl skipped town
No not a word not since her boyfriend drowned
She left him, bruised
Red on wrist
With milk white eyes and not a clue to what she did, no

Now when she cries it calls a storm down the east coast
They tear her lovers limb from limb and still she doesn't seem to
Know it true
Believe it be
They leave her lonely so she sings her grief
By god she's lonely but she sounds so sweet

Look I'm caught between my luck and your good faith
You follow like a lost dog, found, caught
Superstition turned to law in a bad place
You hallow for a small, fraught, false god

And she'll say anything
And she'll say, and she'll say
And she'll say anything
And she'll say, and she'll say

So, should I stay? Or will you go
Could you really leave me lonely, lonely
So, should I stay? Or will you go
Could you really leave me
Would you really
