FIONA APPLE lyrics : "Every Single Night"

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, swelling to a blaze
That's when the pain comes in

like a second skeleton
trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in

Every single night's alight with my brain
What'd 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, step back, because my breast's gonna bust open
The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk/yoke
I just made a meal for us both to choke on

Every single night's a fight with my brain
*I just want to feel everything
So 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 the things that surround me

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
