lyrics

HALF GRIN

she keeps her house in the suburbs
but she always looks around
she keeps a knife in her pocket
but she don't know how to use it
she keeps staring at the ground
she watches old television
when her real life ain't enough
she sits and stares into a mirror
with a crooked half grin

she keeps her books out of order
and her numbers don't match
she has a vague recollection
of her daddy in the doorway
he's a sinister man
she puts her knife in the cupboard
and she washes her hands
she takes a swallow from the chalice
with a crooked half grin

-8/5/04
