I got bruises bruises bruises
on my thigh-igh-igh-igh-igh-ighs
Think of yr hands and tee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eeth
and all of your lie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ies
I was so smitten smitten smitten
I thought you were so sweet-eet such a treat
I shoulda known better better better
It was never meant to be-e-e-e-e-e
No one wants to call it call it call it
possessiveness and jealousy jella-see
We speak in co-oh-oh-oh-oh-ode
Relationship hier-hierarchy
Can I say I have bruises bruises bruises
on my hea-ah-ah-ah-ah-art
though I'm elated, relieved, grateful
to fin'ly be apart apart apart
You can't see me see me see me
no mo-oh-oh-oh-oh-ore
You took me for granted granted granted
I had to show you the do-oh-oh-oh-oh-oor
I know you miss me miss me miss me
That much is for sure-oh-oh-oh-oh-ure
First time in my li-ie-ie-ie-ie-ife
the ball is in my co-oh-oh-oh-ourt
Na na na na na na na na na
nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya nya

I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
I got my sweatpants on
They're taking my blood
This is gonna be fun
I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
Sleeping in a bunk bed
I hear whispers in the dark
Just like summer camp
I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
Outta bed at five am
No caffeine allowed
Should see the state I'm in
1-2-3 won't you come with me
4-5-6 just for kicks
7-8-9 that bonus cheque will be mine!
I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
Critical breakfast
Bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns
Milk and toast
I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
Gotta swallow this pill
Four hours idle
Catch up on my mail
I'm on a clinic vacation (yeah yeah!)
Lights out at ten
A weekend locked indoors
Gotta pay the rent
1-2-3 won't you come with me
4-5-6 just for kicks
7-8-9 that bonus cheque will be mine!
Hey, Amber!
Yeah, Tiffany?
I need to know... did the needle hurt?
I like the pain...
How much blood do they take?
Twenty vials a day!
Did you make any friends?
No, I just hide in the corner with my book
But like, how much do they pay you?
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Oooh but like, aren't you afraid of the side effects?
I'm not scared!
Did you ever vomit?
Uhhh yeah but only one tiiime ugggghhhhh bleeeccchhhh
I'm on a clinic vacation
Let me go
I've had enough
I wanna go home!

I Gotta Go

I bite my lips in nervousness wondering what to say
Thought I could do this but it turns out
I'm much too shy today
One more drink, one more song before I'm on my way
A hug goodnight held on too long
Je laisse tomber mes idées
I gotta go
Biking home under the stars I replay my day
So many words left unsaid
Mais je ne pouvais pas rester
I gotta go
2-3-4
In the morning I will wake under golden rays
Make a coffee, run away
Try again and again
I gotta go

Might you be able to skip over obstacles by skipping an enchanted jump rope? Cast a spell at the gym and gain the strength to stand up for yourself? Our toaster oven gives way to flames and I imagine the landlord's house burning down. Burnt black toast.
Why would he fuck with us when we know where he lives?
I may seem quiet but I'm still a vengeful bitch
Pitching porcelain dishes at the brick walls of hidden alleyways; the greatest smash hits of Renaissance. Discarded dishes, my disposable body. Shattered plates and the anger dissipates.
I'll go to the welfare office with you
and I'll hold your hand and translate when I can
I once filled a shoebox with every reminder of my childhood love: tiny charms, cassette tapes, a cloth, pages torn from magazines. I tucked it under my bed, lit a candle, and the next time he saw me - he kissed me!
In a secret place along the Lachine Canal
I've written a protection spell

Smutty Hollow

Alone in the world, convinced this is really the end
Explorer of the night confused by the map in her hands
The moon softly glows, she cannot stifle her grin
Learning to shed the what-ifs of what could have been
High on sleep deprivation suddenly on a lark
She thought she was wishing upon a star but it was Mars
Easy mistake anyone could make because it's so far
She changes her path, hands gripping the handlebars
Pedals turn round, the grind of a rusty chain
Pushing uphill along the city's bike lane
Taking deep breaths, appreciative of the pain
Elle est dans la lune, just a steady pace to maintain
Il y a un an deux peines d'amour en même temps
Mais cet été-là elle se dit que ça sera différent
Tout le monde dit qu'elle est résiliente
De sa tête et son coeur jusqu'à ses jambes
On ne voit pas souvent des femmes poilues comme ça
A man says to a friend en croyant qu'elle ne comprends pas
They don't see her strength, they don't know where she came from
She's so far past that, it cannot be an insult
But there's something about the old men seated in dives
I don't mean to say that they're innocent, special, or wise
Envy of solitude, sadness in their eyes
She feels akin to them as she plots her demise
"My life, which seems so simple and monotonous is really a complicated affair of cafés where they like me and cafés where they don't, streets that are friendly, streets that aren't, rooms where I might be happy, rooms where I never shall be, looking-glasses I look nice in, looking-glasses I don't, dresses that will be lucky, dresses that won't, and so on."
Spoken too soon, she's fallen in love again
Trois heures du matin les deux se tenaient les mains
Pavement below, Mars above, the two in between
Elle se tourne et demande: Est-ce que je peux t'embrasser?
