She Was Dead (demo)
by Shawn Colvin
From the minute that I saw her she was different from the rest
But I didn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
I wish I would have listened cause I think I would have seen the signs
But I didn't hear her talking I was staring at her chest
I wish I would have listened cause I think I would have seen the signs
Now it's been a couple months and I can't take another word
She's been pushing every button she's been working every nerve
Now there's something she can swollow but it sure as hell is not my pride
She's been pushing every button she's been working every nerve
Now there's something she can swollow but it sure as hell is not my pride
Yeah I know it's just a waste of time
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth in stead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
'Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish...she was dead
Soon I'm gonna run out of lies
She'll just have to hear the truth in stead
Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
'Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish...she was dead
I used to hang out with my homies getting stupid every night
'Till I met her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
Gotta get away from her I think I'm running out of time
'Till I met her and she chained me up to keep me out of sight
Gotta get away from her I think I'm running out of time
Cause I think I'm gonna die whenever she's behind the wheel
And it drives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel
I don't really wanna talk so I tell her that I'm doing fine
There's gotta be a way that I can get it through her head
And it drives me up the wall when she asks me how I feel

Everyday I'm gonna make her cry
'Till the minute that we say goodbye
I'm gonna make her wish...she was dead
I'm going crazy
She won't let go
The leash gets tighter every day
Already told her she's Miss right now
but I wish she was Miss yesterday
She won't let go
The leash gets tighter every day
Already told her she's Miss right now
but I wish she was Miss yesterday

Little Asshole
Hey, little asshole!
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?
I thought I told you to stay out of my room?
My daddy used to call me little asshole,
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
At 65, he's getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight
when he got home from work every night
That's because I used to break everything he owned,
everything that he thought was nice
At 65, he's getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight
It all started back in '77,
when god sent this angel down from heaven
You hoped I'd become the king of my class,
but I turned out to be a royal pain in the ass
You decided to call me Mitch, well, paybacks are a bitch
And I guess I'm just the punishment for your past

Well, 65 is getting old, daddy's getting a little slow
Now I'm gonna break everything else he owns, tonight

You decided to send me off to Shepherd Pratt*,
where they said Sir, we'll take care of your little brat
First, they diagnosed me with hyperactivity,
then they said I had A B C D E F'in' G
Said I'd be a problem child, always just a little wild
Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Daddy thought he wasted all his money,
sending me off to the university
But he didn't realize my long-term scheme,
only 5-and-1-half years to get my degree
When I got home, I'd never guess,
daddy had a new address
and the note said there was no room there for me!

I think it's time for me to go, the basement's getting mighty cold,
but not before I break everything else tonight
