Soap - Harlequin Jones

I would scrub every place touched

every inch of soiled skin

after the water runs freezing

I will come up clean

yes i’ll be M.I.A.

cuz they were D.O.A.

locked, stocked, and sterile

I’m still shell shocked whilst you barrel

through names in the phonebook

to enlist recruits to replace all the time that i took

but what can i say, i’ve done the same

I’ll run on needles never ceasing to stop

till the blood in my veins runs pure to the last drop

dissemble this network, this circuit, these wires

till the memory’s all lost and the past can retire

In a desperate attempt, to cleanse of

what i know in every way, can never be washed away

Its a race of dismissal

a game made of missed calls

freedom of speech, all those liberties

you want your space, i want free reign on memories

that crazy, angry, white girl type

born and bred a suburb life

from city or streets or ghost town

they all make sure I’m not wanted around

anymore

that second chance was up

ten times ten times before

and you cant believe how misleading

a boy could be in times of war

the bombs were thrown like dice are rolled

and I’m stuck with this snake eyed score

I’m not the kind of girl to take things sitting down

don’t tell me to be CALM

Apologies lost in redundancy

i just wish i could be all that you need

apologies lost in redundancy

i just wanted to be everything you’d ever need

and like you said, «just try and forget

its all over with now, dear, just try to calm down»

yeah, another sad story, another sad song

but soap’s all you’ve got

when everythings wrong
