[00:03.569]At night your grandmother dies on a bed of chamomile
[00:12.152]And the Virgin Mary stuck her head out
[00:16.071]from the wall it scared you
[00:19.510]So you cried by floral bedside
[00:23.415]until the telephone rang in the next room
[00:28.085]It was six-six-six from a soldier
[00:32.877]who was hysterical on a toilet seat
[00:36.639]And you could tell he was good looking
[00:40.726]just by the way that he would speak
[00:44.876]And you both sob like little cherries
[00:49.167]being crushed between my fingers
[00:55.200]
[01:02.620]I drop the pits on tile floors
[01:05.993]and they echo like a tongueless mouth
[01:10.274]Oh, I tried to speak
[01:12.398]I swear to God
[01:14.507]I wish I were your stray dog
[01:18.651]Eating scraps of meat you gave me
[01:22.350]because you saw my ribs and I was dirty
[01:26.823]
[01:35.469]Eating scraps of meat you gave me
[01:39.233]because you saw my ribs and I was dirty
[01:45.124]
[01:52.622]Oh, I wish I were your stray dog
[01:56.722]roaming aimlessly around the city
[02:04.054]
