Little Earthquakes
Lyrics

 

Crucify
 
Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now
 
I’ve been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim
 
Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh
 
Got a kick for a dog begging for love
I gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You’re just a cage girl if you kill the bird
 
I’ve been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion
 
Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh
Chains, oh oh oh
 
Please be
Save me
I cry, ah ah ah ah
 
Looking for a saviour in these dirty streets
Looking for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets
I’ve been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those angels when you need them
 
Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself and nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself and my heart is sick of being
I said my heart is sick of being in chains, oh oh oh
Chains
 
Why do we (why do we) chains
(crucify ourselves) crucify ourselves
(why do we) everyday
(crucify ourselves) oh oh oh oh oh
(why do we) no chains oh oh yea
(why do we) yea chains
(crucify ourselves, why do we)
Never going back again oh to crucify myself again
You know never going back again to crucify myself everyday
