Amanda Palmer & The Grand Thft Orchestra - Trout Heart Replica Lyrics
they've been circlingthey've been circlingsince the day they were bornit's disturbinghow they're circlingfifty feet from the pondpretty oftenpretty ofteni don't want to be toldit's a problemit's a problemit's a problem i knowand i won't keep what i can't catch in my bare hands without a netit's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequencesthey've been jerkingthey've been jerkingin a pail by the docki know that oxygen mightmake them blossom and diebut i'm not going to talkfeed them detailsfeed them emailsthey'll eventually growbut it's not workingit's not workingnot as far as i knowand killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest partand when the wizard gets to me i'm asking for a smaller heartand i got youi thought that i got younow i'll ruin it allfeeling helplessacting selfishbeing human and alland they're jumpingand they're jumpingbut they'll never get outjust keep touringjust keep on ignoringbe a good little troutand the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the blockhe raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromiseWAIT we'll trade youWAITplease just one more dayand then we'll go with no complainingno complainingno complainingno complainingstopcomeand they're cuttingand they're cuttingand i think that i knowand they're guttingand they're guttingand i think that i knowand it's beatinglook, it's beatingand i don't want to knowand it's beatingLOOK, ITS STILL BEATNGgod i don't want to knowand killing things is not so hardit's hurting that's the hardest partand when the wizard gets to mei'm asking for a smaller heartand if he tells me "no"i'll hold my breath until i hit the flooreventually i'm know i'm doomedto get what i am asking for......now my heart is exactly the sizeof a six-sided die cut in halfmade of ruby red stained glasscan i knock you unconscious as long as i promisei'll love you and i'll make you laugh?now my heart is exactly the sizeof a six-sided die cut in halfmade of ruby red stained glasscan i knock you unconscious as long as i promisei'll love you and i'll make you laugh?
