Airborne Toxic Event - Missy

[00:25.68] Missy got off the bus one day

[00:28.07] In a crowded depot, downtown LA.

[00:30.72] She looked around as if to say

[00:33.11] "I'm home. But, I'm home

[00:38.16] I'll find someone to love, and someplace to drink

[00:40.82] And some time when I can just sit and think

[00:43.21] And I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones

[00:48.25] Lord, of these drones

[00:51.17] Just as long as I'm never alone"

[01:01.54] She had eyes as big as porcelain plates

[01:04.46] And skin as thin as paper drapes

[01:06.85] And she loved the Lord the way as apostate loves songs

[01:14.29] And she'd sing to him before she went to sleep

[01:17.20] "I pray to you my soul to keep

[01:19.60] You're a shepherd, then I'll be your sheep until dawn

[01:24.64] Oh, until dawn

[01:27.57] Well, I'd follow you even if it was wrong"

[02:16.70] I met her one night at the coffee shop

[02:19.10] A face so bright my heart just stopped

[02:22.01] "Hello, my dear, I fear I'm not what I seem

[02:26.27] I'm not what I seem

[02:29.99] I should've become a better man

[02:32.12] I should be more deserving than

[02:34.77] The beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been

[02:39.54] Oh, that I've been

[02:42.47] Well, I swear I lied, I curse all of my dreams

[02:55.48] But I swear there's still some good in me

[02:57.88] And I think if you stuck around you'd see

[03:00.54] All the honest attempts at integrity I was had

[03:08.50] Maybe if you helped me, I'd get it right

[03:10.89] Well, I'd stay awake almost every night

[03:13.55] Staring at the ceiling wondering why I feel so bad

[03:18.06] Why I feel so bad

[03:21.25] Oh, I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad
