Jesse Malin - A Little Death Lyrics

She flew in from Miami
First class on an ego trip
Father was a doctor and her mother was a trip
Tried her hand at college with some fashion and design
Living in the beautiful decline

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(When you flip the script)
Oh what a lonely life
(When you take the hit)
Born in a different time
(It's a little death)
Hey is it what you want?
(When you hit the light)
Oh tell me what you got

I woke up in the middle or somewhere in between
Trying to tell the difference between a nightmare and a dream
Running through the midnight like a doll without a pin
The voodoo that you do to stick it in

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(Flip the script)
Oh what a lonely life
(When you take the hit)
Born in a different time
(It's a little death)
Hey is it what you want?
(When you hit the light)
Oh tell me what you got

I'm Sister Ray
I'm on display
I'm Queen of May
I'm here today
And I've got some money in the bank

I'm on the floor
I'm at your door
I'm with your friends
I need some more

And I got some people I can thank

I haven't thought about him and I guess it had been a while
Heard you met somebody that you thought could make her smile
It's hard to tell a person what they can and can't protect
Knowing what you give is what you get

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(When you flip the script)
Oh what a lonely life
(When you take the hit)
Born in a different time
(It's a little death)
Hey is it what you want?
(When you hit the light)
Oh tell me what you got


I'm Sister Ray
I'm on display
I'm Queen of May
I'm here today
And I've got some money in the bank

I'm on the floor
I'm at your door
I'm with your friends
I need some more
And I got some people I can thank

I'm fast as punk
I'm dead as junk
I'm Daffy Duck
I self-destruct
And I've got some money in the bank

She flew in from Miami
First class on an ego trip
Father was a doctor and her mother was a trip
Tried her hand at college with some fashion and design
Living in the beautiful decline

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(When you flip the script)
Oh what a lonely life
(When you take the hit)
Born in a different time
(It's a little death)
Hey is it what you want?
(When you hit the light)
Oh tell me what you got

I woke up in the middle or somewhere in between
Trying to tell the difference between a nightmare and a dream
Running through the midnight like a doll without a pin
The voodoo that you do to stick it in

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(Flip the script)
Oh what a lonely life
(When you take the hit)
Born in a different time
(It's a little death)
Hey is it what you want?
(When you hit the light)
Oh tell me what you got

I'm Sister Ray
I'm on display
I'm Queen of May
I'm here today
And I've got some money in the bank

I'm on the floor
I'm at your door
I'm with your friends
I need some more

And I got some people I can thank

I haven't thought about him and I guess it had been a while
Heard you met somebody that you thought could make her smile
It's hard to tell a person what they can and can't protect
Knowing what you give is what you get

Where do you go?
Where do you go when there's nowhere else to run?

(When you flip the script)

Hey is it what you want?
