Amber's Knees: A Matter of Concern - Girl Friday

To all my naïveté, I give you no thanks

The hippos are boiling alive in their tanks

I saw it on the TV in the windows of stores

Promising fullness, delivering sores

Crushed by the why

Crushed by the if

Frightened by the nothing

Crushed by the why

Crushed by the if

Frightened by the nothing

Ghost inside a screen, eating like a king

Dripping grapes and suckled pig

Behind the wall, a thing (A thing, a thing, a thing)

A ghost inside a screen, eating like a king

Dripping grapes and suckled pig

Behind the wall, a thing (A thing, a thing, a thing)

Crushed by the why

Crushed by the if

Frightened by the nothing

Crushed by the why

Crushed by the if

Frightened by the nothing

Blind me, faithless, in my seat

A graceful fall, a strangled bleat

Maggots dress up in the meat

I eat, I eat, I eat
