Amy In The White Coat

Bright Eyes

You take your clothes off right after school 
The tea is on, the flame is blue 
You hope this won't take all afternoon 
The tv's waiting to talk to you 
It's your naked body on white velour 
But there's no feeling, just weight on you 
You get nauseous now as he speaks to you 
Such proper language for acts so cruel 
He says 'We all follow the rules 
We can't very well go and break them now, can we 
For you 
Your older sisters, I've had them too 
But you're my favorite, you know it's true 
You look like your mother, in that thin disguise 
Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes 
And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair 
It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share 
You see we're all trying to endure 
You could easily go and make your own life somewhere 
Couldn't you?' 
And you keep your eyes shut, get to school on time 
Where you're a bag of warm fluid 
Where you're the corpse in the class 
You walk so near to the lockers 
You lay so low in the grass 
Did you get that cut from the principal 
Did you get that bruise on the bus 
You should wash your hair more 
You should look more like us 
I saw you walking once under powder blue skies 
You looked cold still, your color was high 
And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by 
I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye 
? all want to be pure 
But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it 
To do?
