[00:20.24]I walk down my street at night
[00:24.70]The city lights are cold and violent
[00:30.37]I am comforted by the approaching
[00:36.79]sound of trucks and sirens.
[00:40.78]Even though the world's so bad
[00:45.72]These men rush out to help the dying
[00:51.30]And though I am no use to them
[00:56.08]I do my part by simply smiling
[01:01.82]
[01:11.36]The ghetto boys are cat calling me
[01:16.68]As I pull my keys from my pocket
[01:21.90]I wonder if this method of courtship
[01:28.15]has ever been effective
[01:31.39]Has any girl in history said
[01:37.06]"Sure. You seem so nice, let's get it on."
[01:41.87]Still I always shock them when I answer
[01:48.44]"Hi, my name's, Amanda."
[01:51.94]
[01:52.13]And I'm not gonna live my life
[01:54.65]On one side of an ampersand
[01:57.01]And even if I went with you
[01:59.25]I'm not the girl you think I am
[02:01.66]And I'm not gonna match you
[02:03.64]'Cause I'll loose my voice completely
[02:06.31]No I'm not gonna watch you
[02:08.30]'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy
[02:16.11]
[02:20.09]I have wasted years of my life
[02:25.23]Agonizing about the fires
[02:29.91]I started when I thought
[02:34.15]To be strong you must be flame retardant
[02:40.45]And now to dress the wounds called into question
[02:46.97]How authentic they are
[02:50.64]There is always someone criticizing me
[02:56.79]She just likes playing hospital
[03:01.03]Lying in my bed
[03:10.28]I remember what you said
[03:19.93]There's no such thing as accidents
[03:27.65]
[03:49.06][03:30.01]But you've got the headstones all ready
[03:50.99][03:33.32]All carved up and pretty
[03:52.85][03:35.69]Your sick satisfaction
[03:54.90][03:37.63]Knows his and her matching
[03:57.42][03:39.82]The daisies all push up
[03:58.82][03:42.05]In pairs to the horizon
[04:01.50][03:44.13]Your eyes full of ketchup
[04:04.14][03:46.67]It's nice that you're trying
[04:06.53]
[04:06.71]And I'm not gonna live my life
[04:08.86]On one side of an ampersand
[04:11.21]And even if I went with you
[04:13.20]I'm not the girl you think I am
[04:15.73]And I'm not gonna match you
[04:17.70]'Cause I'll loose my voice completely
[04:19.94]No I'm not gonna watch you
[04:22.22]'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy
[04:30.89]
[04:33.80]As I wake up to a cough
[04:38.93]The fire burned the block
[04:42.64]But ironically stopped at my apartment
[04:48.67]And my housemates all are sleeping soundly
[04:54.86]And nobody deserves to die but you
[05:01.64]Were awful adamant
[05:05.36]That if I didn't love you
[05:09.77]Then you had just one alternative
[05:16.37]
[05:16.54]And I may be romantic
[05:18.70]And I may risk my life for it
[05:20.86]But I ain't gonna die for you
[05:23.19]You know I ain't no Juliet
[05:25.51]And I'm not gonna watch you
[05:27.39]While you burn yourself out, baby
[05:29.93]No I'm not gonna stop you
[05:32.02]'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy
[05:55.54]
