Neon Grey Midnight Green

Neko Case

    Continues after the ad

    I live in the wrong time
    A custodian at the agency
    That keeps the planets aligned

    There’s a breeze
    Blowin’ in through the back door
    Where I should walk free
    It taps out my frustration
    Against the outside wall
    Just loud enough to drive me c-r-a-zeee

    With this life, with this body that did nothing wrong
    When it swallowed back that shrieking wave
    Your do-right woman, she can’t take it anymore
    I hear a hole where the scrape and the drag of my cannons should be
    I hear a hole out the backdoor where I should have walked free
    I hear a hole

    Continues after the ad

    So I chartered a lion
    And we’re waiting in your soul for you
    Wound tight, haunches loaded and concealed
    And you’ll refuse to know your cruelty
    Reflecting in the shining mirror of my night eye
    Then you’ll flinch just right (just right)
    You’ll taste exactly like disbelief
    'Cause who am I that I don’t die when you kill me?
    Do you hear my hole?

    Sometimes sometimes sometimes I climb a tempest
    To feel the strangle of my rage release
    I pound my lightning in the ground
    I don’t hurt anybody
    Sometimes I drive barefooted
    To live the ecstasy of animal speed
    And savor the taste of your disbelief

    I'm not your backdoor man!
    I'm not your oxeye daisy!
    Not your Listerine lady!
    Your girl!
