Lady Courage




You said a lot of things
And made us think twice
And for my best friend
My handful ready full of rice
But all the things said
Went down like medicine
Harder than your skeleton
Lady Courage, hold it in

On your way you go
To New Mexico
I feel terrible
But what else can I say?

Pen kissed paper soft
The ball-point rolled the break of dawn
Could have sworn we worked it out
Two full pots of coffee gone
Blue screen sound sleep
No one turned the lights out
Television, television
Tell me what to dream about

We’ll make the monsters go away
We’ll make the monsters go away
We’ll make the monsters go away, I swear
You said you found a rope bridge, cross it if I did
You said you found a rope bridge, cross if it I did but it’s a long way down
You said you found a rope bridge, cross it if I did, just don’t look down

Whatever sara says
I know you’ll find home soon
We’ll make the monsters go away
Ruby pills and waiting rooms
