Lyrics

Savior

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You dress me up in a nurse's outfit

It rides and sticks to my thighs and my hips

You put me in a teacher's little denim skirt

Ruler and desk so I can make it hurt

But I keep you on your best behavior

Honey, I can't be your savior

Love you to the grave and farther

Honey, I am not your martyr

You dress me in a nun's black outfit

Hail Mary past, 'cause you know I grab it

Hand me a badge, and a little billy club

Like I'm supposed to book you on a hit-and-run

Adore you to the grave and farther

Honey, I can't be your martyr

Maybe it's just human nature

But honey, I can't be your savior

But then you say: Please

Then you say: Please

Dress me in leather

Oh, that's a little better

But that's still not it

None of this shit fits

But I keep you on your best behavior

Honey, I can't be your savior

Love you to the grave and farther

Honey, I am not your martyr

But then you say: Please

Then you say: Please

Please

Please

Please

(They call me a strange girl)

(And they speak to me in bruises)

Please

(I got 'em tryin' to save the world)

(They said: Girl, you're not Jesus)

(They call me a strange girl)

Please

(And they speak to me in bruises)

(I got 'em tryin' to save the world)

(They said: Girl, you're not Jesus)

Please

(They call me a strange girl)

(And they speak to me in bruises)

Please

(I got 'em tryin' to save the world)

(They said: Girl, you're not Jesus)

Please

(I got 'em tryin' to save the world)

Please

(They call me a strange girl)

(And they speak to me in bruises)

Please

(I got 'em tryin' to save the world)

(They said: Girl, you're not Jesus)
