Elegy (Cartoon Piano)
[Verse 1]
You were my girl, nineteen
But the paper called you a woman
Cruel and silent hands flung you through a screen
We both grew up out of a dream
[Chorus]
I wanted you and your new boy dead
That's what I said, that's what I said
Little words of a child who'd never bled
[Verse 2]
Nervous and sweet Annie
Big eyes and you couldn't stop talking
Secrets you didn't want to take with you
That life would open up and swallow you
Somehow, you knew
[Chorus]
I wanted you and your new boy dead
That's what I said, that's what I said
Then a cartoon piano fell on your head
Held you the way that I knew how to hold
Childish and cold, childish and cold
Like the feel of a car when you lose control
[Outro]
I think of you every time I drive drunk
I think of you every time I drive drunk
