Every Single Night - Fiona Apple

Every single night

I endure the flight

Of little wings of white-flamed

Butterflies in my brain

These ideas of mine

Percolate the mind

Trickle down the spine

Swarm the belly, swellin' to a blaze

That’s where the pain comes in

Like a second skeleton

Tryin' to fit beneath the skin

I can’t fit the feelin’s in, oh

Every single night’s alight

With my brain, brain

I say to her, Why’d I say it to her?

What does she think of me?

That I’m not what I ought to be

That I’m what I try not to be

It’s got to be somebody else’s fault

I can’t get caught

If what I am is what I am

'Cause I does what I does

Then brother get back, 'cause my breast’s gonna bust open

The rib is the shell

And a heart is the yolk

And I just made a meal for us both to choke on

Every single night’s a fight

With my brain, brain

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

So now I’m gonna try to be still now

Gonna renounce the mill a little while

And if we had a double-king-sized bed

We could move in it and I’d soon forget

That what I am is what I am

'Cause I does what I does

And maybe I’d relax

Let my breast just bust open

My heart’s made of parts

Of all that surround me

And that’s why the devil just can’t get around me

Every single night’s alright

Every single night’s a fight

And every single fight’s alright

With my brain, brain

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything
