Love Letter to a Dead Girl
I’m turning into super-
I’m turning into superman!
One perfect sunny cool autumn day
laughing through Golden Gate Park
I know that you’re dead but I swear I saw you
walkin’ your dog.
Why’d you have to go and die?
Sucking spider’s milk high through a needle’s eye.
There’s only blood in my veins only
tears on the ground cried for you today
CHORUS:
I couldn’t die for you
I could not live for you but
I’ll live for me and
mail it to you.
I can only cry for you
what else can I do ?
‘cept change my plan
and turn into superman.
All my references are dead
and all my royalties are spent
I wish I’d spent one more minute more
kissing you.
They can laugh in smoke-filled rooms
I’ll sit alone beside your tomb
and touch myself again as the sun goes down.
They said I’d be dead by now
But I’m still around somehow
Heaven’s not ready
And Hell is too far.
I said I’d be dead by now
But I’m still around somehow
Heaven’s not ready
And Hell is too far.
CHORUS:
I couldn’t die for you
I could not live for you
I’ll live for me and
nail it to you.
I can only cry for you
what else can I do
‘cept change my plan
and turn into super-
turn into superman.
I want to be the goose that
eats the grass upon the
graves of all the girls who
could not save themselves
