lyrics

i've been putting on weight
threw all my cigarettes away
take my pills every day
and do just about everything they say

but my body is a hospice
where my daydreams go to die
where i am held hostage with the clamor of my mind

and in my crippled cage
i rage, i moan, and i whine
‘cause I have cats and dogs
that claw and paw at my insides

i'm a sick woman with a dream
sucking on the teat of that vow
they said if I gave my everything
it’d come back to me
but now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
now it’s curdled and sour

try to tell you a joke
it gets stuck in my throat
and suddenly I’m wheezing,
ahh, funny man, fate man - i see you
you really like to snip at my strings
cut me open when you get into a bad mood
but keep me hoping that someday I’ll be free

never, never, never
will you just let me be
and so i writhe, and cry, and weep

and in my crippled corset
my wounds come back again
‘cause I have cats and dogs
that claw and paw at my skin

i'm a sick woman with a dream
sucking on the teat of that vow
they said if I gave my everything
it’d come back to me
but now it’s curdled and sour, yes it is
now it’s curdled and sour,
now it's curdled and sour

i've been putting on weight
threw all my cigarettes away
take my pills every day
and do just about everything they say
