once upon a time
there was a girl named Sue
I fell in love
with her glitter tattoo

it wasn't real
I knew it from the start
I didn't care
I just wanted her heart

so I went to the store
to find me a tat
all I could find
was a friggin' bat

so I spit in my hand
slapped it onto my chest
it looked pretty awesome
I never would've guessed

I got to her house
and knocked on the door
she jumped off the bed
her feet hit the floor

She got a look
at my new tattoo
then she whispered
"I love you"

i think you only loved me
when i was frail and broken.
am i no longer lovely
if all my hurt was spoken?

and if i bear no danger,
and give you no more hell
am i, to you, a stranger,
now that i'm fin'ly well?

i think you only loved me
because you thought me small.
i think you used to love me,
but now you never call.

And every day that chain on my ankle gets weaker
And every day the rope round my neck gets looser
And every day the blindfold over my eyes gets lighter
The day will come when life will taste sweeter
