Lyrics

She awoke with a jerk What had they done? She awoke with the shock What had they begun? She awoke to the sound Of their blue-white laughter Hot in her hands And an idea for a chapter All she wanted was fame Or playing the marital game Maybe she just wanted love When death came and gave her a shove She awoke under the house Two nights after fall Another screw loose In the space they call crawl She awoke and she thought Where is the sky? It's funny you know How time flies And she thought it was mud Always gave him her blood All she wanted to do Was gaze up into the blue She awoke with a jerk What had she done? She awoke with the shock What had she begun? She awoke to the sound Of people who asked her What do you want? What is it you're after? All she wanted to do Was tell him, "You bastard, I'm through-- Can't do no more black shoe With my nerves burning electric blue"
