lyrics

I launched a big old tremor
Up and racing
Through my woman's architecture
Beams and girders echoing
A remark I made without even thinking

Most of that afternoon went by like
Ketchup sliding down a window pane
Slower than blood
But faster than I would've thought
Would've wished
Would've ever imagined

Sometimes I'm as flattered by your mercy
As I'm sure I'll never learn
Who it is you think you help
Every time you fail to punish me
