Early Whitney
You're so sensitive
You can feel a single hair curl while you're sleepin'
And each fraction of a millimeter fingernail's growth
You show half a heart when you play euchre
And I face the punching bag and do what I'm told
But you stoop so low
To write a word in white pastel on a skull-shaped gauge
You say, "I'm not myself without my Challenger commemorative button
On the chest of my brown down vest"
You say, "Coffee's turned my dark days into Woody Allen anxiety"
You say, "Hide in Denver"
"I remember Montreal"
"I swear I'll write soon"
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses
Something about this
Is clowns with knives
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, it's just a hedge on fire
The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses
Something about this
Is clowns with knives
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, it's just a burning bush
You're so sensitive
You can feel a single hair curl while you're sleepin'
And each fraction of a millimeter fingernail's growth
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire (The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses)
(Something about this is clowns with knives)
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, that ain't no god, that ain't no god, that ain't no-
You can feel a single hair curl while you're sleepin'
And each fraction of a millimeter fingernail's growth
You show half a heart when you play euchre
And I face the punching bag and do what I'm told
But you stoop so low
To write a word in white pastel on a skull-shaped gauge
You say, "I'm not myself without my Challenger commemorative button
On the chest of my brown down vest"
You say, "Coffee's turned my dark days into Woody Allen anxiety"
You say, "Hide in Denver"
"I remember Montreal"
"I swear I'll write soon"
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses
Something about this
Is clowns with knives
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, it's just a hedge on fire
The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses
Something about this
Is clowns with knives
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, it's just a burning bush
You're so sensitive
You can feel a single hair curl while you're sleepin'
And each fraction of a millimeter fingernail's growth
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire
Don't encourage the wind, the candles will retire (The cumulative weight of all my chain letter curses)
(Something about this is clowns with knives)
An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
That ain't no god, that ain't no god, that ain't no god, that ain't no-
