Fox River Revisited

lyrics

I'm shaking like I've been caged all night.
I'm shaking like I've been caged all night.
I'm shaking like I've been caged all night.
And you know it.
I'm shaking all of the rats off my hide.
I'm shaking all of the rats off my hide.
I'm shaking all of the rats off my hide.
Gnaw into it, gnaw into it.
I'm quiet like the knife in my side.
I'm quiet like the knife in my side.
I'm crying down Riverside Drive, I can't help it. I can help it.

I know I never was beautiful enough for me.
I want to wear my skin down. I want to chew my cheeks out.
And once you told me that you are, "always so sorry. My nose is so ugly." Triangle breasted canary. Puked/high school in the sunshine morning.

I'm riding my bike. I touch your spine.
Give me a sign, have I wasted all of my life?
Now it's time. I hear the fireworks whine overhead
as your friend's phone goes dead.
This moment is mine.
Look into my eyes, into my head,
and I realize and sigh that there is nothing I can do that will ever change the way that I am or the things that I do. Or the way you see me or the way you see you.

So fuck it.
I sing this song, it's where I belong.
I sing for fun, the shame is gone.
