Sarah Could Have Died (2018)

from Promises, Promises (or, Edible Feedback) by C Alexander

about

This is a true story and I'm sorry.
I actually prefer the recording from An Overhaul but the outro lyrics wrap everything up much better.

lyrics

It was a typical November, drunk and depressed
I was overtired and underdressed
She asked me if I ever felt cold?

She had vintage outfits and crushing debt
A high regard for her intellect
She asked me why everything gold
Loses a little luster with a little rain?
How statues, once mighty, turn a shallow green?
She asked me if I ever felt old?

I took her hostage when I took her hand
She had legitimate prescriptions on her doctor's plan
She warned me that they weren't that strong
But if you take two or three then they'll be good enough
And if you take six or seven then they'll be good enough
And if you take ten or twenty then they're never enough

The wind blew in from the arctic shelf
I was inside with somebody else
I knew it but I didn't feel
Didn't feel wrong

Sarah could have died in Connecticut
With her Japanese dress turning white and wet
She asked me if I ever felt cold

You have games like a child, you know how to win them
I have wheels like a car, you know how to spin them
You have teeth like a shark, you know how to shine them
I have blood on my hands, you know how to bind them
