She spent 20 years in the Dakota

Every single day was black in the Dakota

Riot Grrrls think you stop it

You're forever in her debt

Well, I know you haven't saved me

And you haven't saved her yet

She spent 20 years like a virus

They want to burn the witches inside us

Well you, you don't fuck with the Fabulous Four

Or you'll spend the rest of your life

Picking things up off the floor

She's still alive, but I am sure

That all the stars belong to her

On California king-sized beds

She's wrapped in rags inside my head

This is the story, this is the story of someone's wife

Been in black pools her whole life

(I don't remember, I forget)

Oh baby, dry your dirty eyes

My water breaks like turpentine

The pee-girl burns to be the bride

Your ever-lovely suicide

Hey yah, hey yah

Are they coming for me?

Are they coming soon?

Hey Jude, hey Jude

Are they coming for me?

Judy, Judy (I haven't lived there yet)

Are they coming soon?

(I don't remember, I forget)

The pee-girl burns to be a bride

(I haven't live there yet)

Your ever-lovely suicide

(I don't remember I forget)

I don't remember, I forget
