Marcella Detroit - Waiting 4 Lyrics
(Marcella Detroit, Michael Graves)I worked so hard to get this farA lifetime doing serviceCan't stand a change or differenceIt makes me feel so nervousI've worn this wound for centuriesI look so good in my bandageOf childhood games and fallaciesI save whatever i can manageThis is my life, this is my lotIt's not much, but it's all i've gotI won't let you take it away!We're different shadesWe're chalk and clayWe're fire and we're waterDon't talk to me of innocenceI lost it and forgot itEver since you came aroundThere's chaos in my orderI'm much too blind to ever seeWe're all from the same father, fatherI used to be good-lookingBut my face became distortedSomething in my body hurtsI don't know how i got itLooks like the devil's work to meWe were so simple and so cleanI won't let you take it from me!We're different shadesWe're chalk and clayWe're fire and we're waterDon't talk to me of innocenceI lost it and forgot itEver since you came aroundThere's chaos in my orderI'm much too blind to ever seeWe're all from the same father, father...They gave this gift to me, myMother's, mother's, mother's mother's family;We love what we believeYou're lost if you can't see it!
