lyrics

You know your touch is cold,
It's silver and it's gold,
Your skin is soft ribbons of earth

On my way to a church,
You stopped and drugged me up and,
Wondered why I felt so dirty,
How could you sleep next to me?

Sing to me, Sylvia,
You're like me, Sylvia

Their electricity,
Runs underneath your skin,
Into your bones sets your nerves on fire

You're not that golden child,
You fell and cracked your smile,
When Daddy died you went to school next morning,
Why didn't you mourn him?

Sing to me, Sylvia,
You're like me, Sylvia,
Words are free, Sylvia,
Just like me, Sylvia

They left you there in the cold,
Shaved your head growing old,
You're my world Sylvia
