 A New Woman

Fishing (the one who caught a?)


Up so late
Puffing eyes
Puffed up like the laminated floors
After the flooding

Baby you keep me up all through the night
Darkened like ones evil soul is the bags under my poor eyes
Aching away
Just as much as my heart
Can nobody see
Oh mama stop trying to make him out what he is not
What he isn't
What he'll never be

He's a beautiful liar
A beautiful yarn wrapper
Wrapping it around
Twisting the words
So he thinks he can pull the wool over our eyes
Beautiful liar

I was caught one time
Fishing was he
He caught a sucker
Oh yes
A fool
I should have swam far away
As far as my fins and gills would ever take me
Far from this evil, but beautiful liar

Been caught for a few years
Dried and burned to a crisp
Thrown away
Trying to collect all that is left of me now
So i can live my life again
