lyrics

Don’t be fooled by a blue sky
Bone dry
Not caught by
The eye
Rain is plain Jane, mundane, for a drain, weather vane, window pane
Get out your black umbrella and complain
I start fires; open flame
The forest ran wild with me to blame
Out of the blue is my name
I am hotter than the sun and put hell to shame
I am a flash you can’t contain
But you like it all the same
You’re quiet but insane

Oh god my life has gone to shit
Every little bit
Is counterfeit
A thunder cloud hung within it
This is what I get
This is why I I’m hit
I was too numb to admit

Your hair stood on end
Do you get the letters I send
Let me be your friend
Stand tall I’ll descend
Fool you one time, we’ll pretend
I won’t fool you again
I scream too loud comprehend
So far away you don’t know where I begin
You seek shelter under a tree I pin
Lie down and tell me when
You may not die but you cannot defend
Plain Jane just tried to blend in

Oh god my life has gone to shit
Every little bit
Is counterfeit
A thunder cloud hung within it
This is what I get
This is why I I’m hit
I was too numb to admit

I am in your home
You’re electrocuted on the phone
Leave a message at the tone
Windows shatter as they are blown
There is loud cracking of stone
You would’ve died of the shock alone
A towering flame has grown
Your house crumbles and you should’ve known
Sylvia Plath strife to the bone
You put in every dress you’ve sewn
Every set of kitchenware you own
You asked if the weather would postpone
I just need a bath and time alone
An affair is your methadone
You’ve become monotone
Kerosene Queen has overthrown
In the the next life you will not drone, moan, clone, be a full-blown headstone, you will atone
Child you are accident prone
Do not roam
Drop your sad Y chromosome
Take this life and honey comb
Something not monochrome
Then build a new home
The fire should be your own

Oh god my life has gone to shit
Every little bit
Is counterfeit
A thunder cloud hung within it
This is what I get
This is why I I’m hit
I was too numb to admit
