Cast The Bronze

A little ink between my shoulder and my jaw
Pour out a drink and sip it through a plastic straw
Sink all my teeth into a million-dollar mold
And have my name spelled out in gold

Or could I stand to maybe
Show a little skin
Tear all my clothes
And patch 'em up with safety pins

Nobody warned me
We'd get sick of centerfolds
I'm getting bored or getting old
So I don't feed you my heart well enough
But I don't need any part of your love
Go tell someone
What you wish I would've done

Make me bleed
If you need
To confirm
That it's something I can do
And I'll paint it red
If you're still unsure
Let me lie for a day
Before they formally
Announce me dead

When I'm gone
Cast the bronze for the bust of my head
To be displayed in the library
Engrave that I gave my consent
To be anything that anyone prefer I be

Would it be wise to play this closer to the vest
Apologize for being green or underdressed
Do I imply that I'm just beautiful and blessed
I try to care but just care less
So you moan and compose a response
Buy you don't even know what you want
Go tell someone
What you wish I would've done

Make me bleed
If you need
To confirm
That it's something I can do
And I'll paint it red
If you're still unsure
Let me lie for a day
Before they formally
Announce me dead

When I'm gone
Cast the bronze for the bust of my head
To be displayed in the library
Engrave that I gave my consent
To be anything that anyone prefer I be

I can't show you how
I don't know enough
And I'll just let you down
Maybe that's the chance you'll take

Make me bleed
If you need
To confirm
That it's something I can do
And I'll paint it red
If you're still unsure
Let me lie for a day
Before they formally
Announce me dead

When I'm gone
Cast the bronze for the bust of my head
To be displayed in the library
Engrave that I gave my consent
To be anything that anyone prefer I be
