Little Earthquakes
Lyrics

 

Precious Things
 
So I ran faster but it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned like my ankle in the seventh grade
Running after Billy
Running after the rain
 
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
 
Aaaaahhhhhh
 
He said you’re really an ugly girl but I like the way you play
And I died but I thanked him
Can you believe that sick, sick
Holding onto his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys
Those Christian boys
So you can make me come
That doesn’t make you Jesus
 
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
 
I remember yes
In my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared to tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demi-Gods with their nine inch nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl
 
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
These, these precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away
These, these precious things
Let them break their hold over me
 
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Precious, precious
