Childish jealousy rising in me
in the dark and strobe of a bar in a college town
he whispers, he touches, he shows her his tattoo
she wants his number, I want to
break the piece of shit in two.
I know it's just childish jealousy.
Bear the last song, smoke another
cigarette I cannot afford, then the four of us
run out into the ohio cold and to the car
and on the way home she asks me
what's wrong and I tell her
it's just childish jealousy
and she rests her head
on my shoulder and
it strikes me
she's so greedy
she always wants control
sly and sexy, she revels in torture
like so many others
she doesn't want me
she doesn't want him
she's like a vampire of the soul
back home
after the rest have fallen asleep
she says she has to go,
to drive home, in this
rain, this snow, this sleet pouring down
and she looks at me
so close, so warm, so sweetly
and I lean closer, she turns away
then I turn back, she waits
then she
Kisses me, kills me,
runs away again.
it strikes me
she's so greedy
she always wants control
sly and sexy, she revels in torture
like so many others
she doesn't want me
she doesn't want him
she's like a vampire of the soul
For some reason I adore her,
but like the rest she's torture,
so I hate her just the same.
