Lyrics

There's a heat in the pavement, my mercury's raising
Don't know if it's love or if it's ovulation
When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
The liquid crystal is in my grip
Anyone with a snake tongue, I show 'em the chambers of my heart

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think there could be a connection
I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance
Some days, I'm a woman, some days, I'm a man, oh

I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have thе answers
There's pеace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me on

Today, I'll go to Canal Street, they're piercing my ears
I'm making a wish when the needle goes in
Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am
(Show me who I am)

Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
But I really do think you can make an exception
It's a beautiful life, so I play truant
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh

I might have been born again
I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
There's peace in the madness over our heads
Let it carry me on

Let it break me down till I'm just a wreck
Till I'm just a voice living in your head
It's a fucked-up world, been to hell and back
But I've sent you a postcard from the edge
The edge

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, dark day
Was I just someone to dominate?
Worthy opponent, flint to my blade, now we're playing with shadows
At the Sunset Tower, you said, "Open your mouth"
I did

[Pre-Chorus]
And what came spilling out that day was the truth
If I had virginity, I would have given it too

[Chorus]
Why do we run, run to the ones we do?
I don't belong to anyone

[Verse 2]
Oh, dark day
Was I just young blood to get on tape?
'Cause you dimed me out when it got hard
Uppercut to the throat, I was off guard
Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight

[Pre-Chorus]
But what came spilling out that day was the truth
And once I could sing again, I swore I'd never let
Let myself sing again for you, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh-oh
Singing

[Chorus]
Said why do we run to the ones we do?
I don't belong to anyone, ooh
I made you God 'cause it was all
That I knew how to do
But I don't belong to anyone, ooh

[Outro]
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again? Ooh
Am I ever gonna love again? (Am I ever gonna love again?; Tell it to the rock doves)
Will you ever feel like a friend? (Sing it to the fountain)
Am I ever gonna love again?
Do you understand? ('Til you understand)
To understand, tell it to him
