lyrics

DELILAH GREEN

delilah green had a lean machine
that she kept in the back of her soul
silent and empty, she begged me for plenty
i gave everything that i stole

tired and broken
these demons left her skin
god knows where she is
lost and left within

this framed, astral love affair
i asked but i'd never care
i sleep and so therefore i roam
she caught me singing "misty"
to corpus kristy
it was a hell of a long way home

tired and broken
these demons left her skin
god knows where she is
lost and left within

thankless acceptance
made nary exceptions
i'm breathing all over again
delilah excused me
right after she bruised me
and told me i would never win

tired and broken
these demons left her skin
god knows where she is
lost and left within

begging for mercy
she's bleeding all over again
god knows where she is
lost and left within

-January 1996
