Dead Women — Lyrics

Artist: Mitski

Album: Nothing's About to Happen to Me


Would you have liked me better if I'd died So you could tell my story the way it ought to be? You'd find my parents and ask to see my things Rifle through it all, fill the blanks with what you need If I'd died willing, you'd have taken it nice If I'd sewn rocks in a dress, gone with grace into a lake But since I'm alive, you'll have to break in as I sleep When you find my love beside me, choke him dead for having me While I dream of flying, stab me twenty-seven times Ransack the house for what you'll auction, what you'll keep Then embalm me up, 'cause you're hosting the viewing Saying she gave her life so we could have her in our dreams She gave her life So we could fuck her as we please
