lyrics

Chickenheart

There's a thorn in my paw. I have lost my courage. I come on like a lion, like a lamb I leave discouraged. Your new man treats you rotten. He's the 5th one in a row. I think you should drop him girl, you say there are things that I don't know.

Seasons pass, love don't last. Questions unasked remain unanswered. It's so absurd, I got such a big mouth I'm at a loss for words. I'm a chickenheart, such a big chickenheart.

Once you filled my heart. You filled it with air. Then it blew apart. Now I never go there. I stand like some scarecrow and watch as you get ravaged. Your old world soul can't get its feet in a modern world so savage.

Seasons pass, love don't last. Questions unasked remain unanswered. It's so absurd, I got such a big mouth I'm at a loss for words. I'm a chickenheart, such a big chickenheart.

There's a no exit sign on the yellow brick road. There's a crock of shit at the end of the rainbow. All the fairy tales end unhappily ever after. The best laid plans always end in disaster. Your enemy feeds and clothes you when your lover treats you wrong. There's something I want to say to you. It's all wrapped up in this song.

Seasons pass, love don't last. Questions unasked remain unanswered. It's so absurd, I got such a big mouth I'm at a loss for words. I'm a chickenheart, such a big chickenheart.
