A Girl Like Me
Hot skin in the night, in the hour when the animals are born
and crimes of passion are committed, take me to the morning light.
Take me to your leader.
It took a girl like me to bring you to your knees. You took a girl
like me.
You are my heart. You are my only heart, but this cold air is killing me.
And as we make love, the silence, the silence, trying to find a thread
of failed romance.
IT TOOK A GIRL LIKE ME TO BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES. YOU TAKE
A GIRL LIKE ME.
I swing my face towards the sky. You put your hand over my mouth.
Oh, take me, take me to the frozen north, skating, falling falling
down down down into icy water.
I'LL BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE, TO BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES,
YOUR LOVER, YOUR DAUGHTER. WE'LL MOVE IN SLOW MOTION,
FALLING DOWN DOWN DOWN INTO ICY WATER. YOU TOOK A GIRL
LIKE ME.
I might never leave this room again. Shut myself inside the old
photographs. The faded light of the young girl, patterns, shadows on
the walls, painted ladies, they look a lot like me.
IT TOOK A GIRL LIKE ME TO BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES. YOU TOOK
A GIRL LIKE ME.
and crimes of passion are committed, take me to the morning light.
Take me to your leader.
