lyrics

Down on the floor he was down at my feet
He said, “Don’t throw me out, I’m not really a cheat”
But I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak
I couldn’t believe he would do that to me

Tastes like chalk in my mouth
While I sing him away
Let him go find another woman to betray

I gave her my heart, I said, “Now take it with you”
They will get me another, she would break that one too
With flowers on her vine, fruit in her tree
Snakes in her grass and poison all over me

Tastes like chalk in my mouth
While I sing her away
Let her go find another man to betray

Daddy fold me home, back to a child
Daddy it hurts real bad, fold me home
To mute the world for just a while

Daddy fold me home, back to a child
Daddy it hurts real bad, fold me home
To mute the world for just a while

Now it’s a quarter to four and the night is a dream
The clock doesn’t move, things can’t be how they seem
But the moon doesn’t care and the sun isn’t here
It’s not the same as before, I don’t love her anymore

Tastes like chalk in my mouth, while I sing him (her) away
Let them go find someone else to betray

(C) Todd Lerner, 2017
