Soap and Water
Kristin Hersh
It's like atomic theory don't leave me when the train comes
Or when we die, don't leave me in another life
If you bring me to the light I can't twist the day
If you over-rate me I won't talk
If you chain me chain me I can't walk
(if you walk me I'll move)
Can't we go away, you may bring me in another time
The school closed its doors
I caught three stars and grilled them
Pack the jury fill of water
Only if they haul her off
She lives on tv, soap and water
She caught three stars and carried them home
In her doghouse she does it sideways
She goes back to her jewel thief
She does it backwards, I don't know her
I live on soap and water
I want a clean me I want a washed hand
I wanna know my feet
My skin is unwashed
I caught a star though
