Bat for Lashes - Sarah Lyrics

Adopting Sarah's heart
(Was never gonna be easy)
With an angel tattoo sinking beneath her belt
(Sarah)

And the dirty blonde sea-water
(Sea-water gushing down)
Chewing fingernails in her shit-eating grin
(Sarah)

They cut out her heart when
(She was a little girl)
And in the fishing boat she thought
She saw the shadow of God
(Sarah)

He didn't smile at her and she decided
(He never came at all)
And when she died
She was going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)

Adopting Sarah's heart
(Was never gonna be easy)
Changing from black to blonde
To black to blonde
(Sarah)

But on the dirty tarmac of
(The tarmac of a melting motorway)
Gave me her clothes and told me
To take her place, her place

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)

Sarah, I want to be like you
(Sarah)
You know sometimes I want to live like you
(Sarah)
So I know how it feels not to feel
(Sarah)
