Zwan - The Girl with the Cruel Face (2002)

2002/11/04 - Hideout; Chicago

I met her out, walking
lost in converstation and thought
she forgot nothing but who I was
to let me off easy
she passed with a wink, a nod, and a smile
I caught enough to miss her at least
not for a little while

hey, hello, how are you
didn't we meet at a costume ball
she laughed, it's different, it was
a dark alley pissing on a wall
I knew we're all meant to fall

and one day you'll find
I got just what I wanted here
old hooks and the empty books
with the names of the girls with a dull embrace

we stood and talked to no one else
of premonitions come and gone
everything you know is wrong, she said
I know you know you're wrong
she said I don't Know your songs


and one day you she'll find
I got just what I wanted here
some old soot and the vacant look
of the girls who just enjoy the chase

hey hey

strolling by a river to take her in
she laughed out loud and pushed me in
now let's see if you'll sink or swim
I'll do what you can't do for them
cause this won't even hurt one bit

we'll wash away all our sin and grin
yours without and mine shoved in forever
if ever always there

she says, let's go for a walk, a picture show
one wish, honest
to wipe away the loneliness

and one day you'll find
I got just what I wanted here
some dirty hooks on theire dirty books
on top of the world without disgrace

Tied to a tree, trying to kiss her bow
I tried to pry inside that soul
she turned her face as if to go
said there's really nowhere else to go
said I know I love you
as simple as I'm sweet
she hissed, I know you know no love
it does not
repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat


Why won't you please
repeat after me
and one day she'll find
I got just what I wanted here
a little touch for a little love
from the girls I can't attract to race
hey hey

I need you I sleeped and she begins to call
she caught me watch and said I'm never bought
I am the girl of the bitter embrace
I am the girl you'll forever chase
with your loins burning and your eyes of hate
I'm pulling you out to face
why could you meet me so
it's so funny you don't even know
one lone crain standing in the shallows
you seems so bold
and she said, let's go for a walk or picture show
within or without
you're so lucky to let this out

And one day well'find

The broken arms
ant the tarnished charms
Of the girl with the cruel face
