Amanda Palmer - Melody Dean lyrics
[Amanda Palmer - Melody Dean lyrics]
I never met a lady
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And when I laid my head down on her heart
It beated out your name
And so I had to listen to her heartbeat
Several hundred times
And she was very nice about it
Held my hand and didn't mind
I never put my foot in the same river twice
I don’t like getting wet you take the good
You take the bad you take it all
And that is all you get
The fact is you would rather I be lonely
In a bathtub with a book
The fact is you would rather I sat pining
On our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
But, I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
I don’t like picking sides
I don't like sticking my Cherona in a box
I like to spread her
Out on different crackers, yeah
I like the way she looks
And when I go to bed at night
With Melody undressing in my head
To get to sleep you know that I would rather
Be undressing you instead
Instead, instead, instead
I never met a lady
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you I want to get me off
But, you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
I never cross the Continental Divide
Without thinking about you
I am a tree that's carved up with her name
She is a warrior tattoo
And the fact is you're selective
About what you can remember for a start
The fact is you're just jealous
As all get out we can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
But, I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Like Stephen Stills says
I never met a lady
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And even though I know you are
A little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you I want to get me off
But, you can only do that when you’re here
And right now you are not
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And when I laid my head down on her heart
It beated out your name
And so I had to listen to her heartbeat
Several hundred times
And she was very nice about it
Held my hand and didn't mind
I never put my foot in the same river twice
I don’t like getting wet you take the good
You take the bad you take it all
And that is all you get
The fact is you would rather I be lonely
In a bathtub with a book
The fact is you would rather I sat pining
On our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
But, I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
I don’t like picking sides
I don't like sticking my Cherona in a box
