There are demons in the water
|
There are devils in the sea
|
There are dangers in the current
|
When the tide goes out of me
|
|
I could drink you under the table
|
I could drink you out of town
|
I could drink you off the planet
|
Drink myself into the ground
|
|
Chorus
|
|
And I have nothing for you tonight
|
I have nothing for you tonight
|
I have nothing for you tonight
|
I have nothing for you
|
|
I was made to be a good girl
|
Carried buckets made of stone
|
Full of envy, full of sorrow
|
On a tightrope all alone
|
|
And all the time I was on fire
|
I burned with every stride
|
And now I see this anger
|
Is the horse I choose to ride
|
|
Now you say you want something nice from me
|
Well if you find it, take it, it's on me
|
In the meantime don't bother me
|
The tide has washed the nice from me
|
|
Chorus
|
|
In the nothing are the voices
|
And the pictures of my life
|
In the nothing of the sky
|
Is an ocean made of light
|
|
In the nothing of my silence
|
Is a sad-eyed little girl
|
On a tightrope she is singing
|
As she passes through this world
|
|
Chorus
