Grey Matter

Music by Jewel Kilcher
Lyrics by Jewel Kilcher

I hate you
I love you
Leave
Don't go away
I can't decide if I like your face
Or if I wish it would stray

You're a child but you're malicious
You're sweet but don't remember my name
Heads you win and tails I'm lost
And love equals pain

  Chorus
I am drifting without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by your grey matter

Inside my skin, I feel your tongue
It's telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones
A scrape against silence, a knife across a plate
Makes the sound of need on hate

  Chorus

And I do not understand
Why a woman can't just love a man

You're amusing, you're a real cool show
With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival
You got mouth holes in your pocket
You got mothballs in your soul
From too many false teeth and greasy flash bulbs

I am drifting without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered
And I'm flattered by your grey matter
