Fingertips
[00:00.46] When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
[00:08.72] Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
[00:16.96] Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two"
[00:27.32] Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark?
[00:34.47] Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
[00:40.59] And if I do, will you be there with me, Father, Sister, Brother?
[00:48.85] Charlie, stop smoking
[00:52.03] Caroline, will you be with me?
[00:56.53] Will the baby be alright?
[00:59.45] Will I have one of mine?
[01:02.91] Can I handle it
[01:04.75] Even if I do?
[01:07.42] You said that I might
[01:10.86] It's not fair or so they said
[01:14.06] To carry a child
[01:17.50] I guess I'll be fine
[01:23.92] It wasn't my idea the cocktail of things that twist neurons inside
[01:31.62] But without them, I'd die
[01:35.61] They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy
[01:41.19] I see nothing Greek in it
[01:46.50] Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and Dave
[01:54.20] Who hung himself real high
[01:59.27] In the National Park sky, it's a shame and I'm crying right now
[02:05.34] To get to you, save you if I take my life
[02:11.18] Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
[02:16.77] Give you two seconds to cry
[02:20.74] Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
[02:26.59] Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
[02:35.10] 'Cause, baby, I ran through a time when I felt you were doing it
[02:45.19] I couldn't handle it, I was in Monaco
[02:49.73] I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
[02:54.56] I had to sing for the prince in two hours
[02:58.02] Sat in the shower
[03:00.42] Gave myself two seconds to cry
[03:07.06] It's a shame that we die
[03:12.67] When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
[03:19.57] Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
[03:25.95] I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
[03:32.06] That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
[03:37.64] But, sometimes, it's just not your time
[03:42.41] Caroline, what kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions?
[03:54.37] All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by the lake
[04:02.34] Twisting lime into the drinks that they made
[04:08.45] Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was born in and died
[04:18.01] Aaron ended up dead and not me
[04:22.00] What the ... wrong in your head to send me away never to come back
[04:30.01] Exotic places and people to take the place of being your child?
[04:41.14] I give myself two seconds to cry
[04:46.19] Let it crash over me like
[04:50.72] The waves in the sea
[04:53.63] Call me Aphrodite
[04:59.48] As they bow down to me
[05:05.03] Sunbather, moon chaser, queen of empathy
[05:12.71] I give myself two seconds to breathe
[05:19.64] And go back to being a serene queen
[05:25.51] I just needed two seconds to be me
