Kristin Hersh › Lyrics › Vanishing Twin

I feel the tug of war, I fight the fight
But I don't have the patience
Or the stamina to last one night
With color mad candy mouth, you

Your reputation lives in spite of me
Your platitudes and berserk theories
Super real fantasy that infuriating vanishing twin

He has metal bones and a wild eyed stare
I'm thinking feigning interest, badly like a liar
And then he blows me away

And then all I want is a room and you
The urban hillside glinting copper in the morning
A broken spell, alive and well

That's the way the cookie bounces in spite of me
I hate clever sons of b******
Who can't leave a girl alone to rot in peace
