I was reading slim aarons
And I got to thinking that I thought
Maybe I`d get less stressed
If I was tested less like
All of these debutantes
Smiling for miles in pink dresses
And high heels on white yachts
But I`m not baby I`m not
No I`m not that I`m not
I`ve been tearing around
In my fucking nightgown
24/7 sylvia plath
Writing in blood on my walls
`Cause the ink in my pen
Don`t work in my notepad
Don`t ask if I`m happy
You know that I`m not
But at best I can say I`m not sad
`Cause hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
I had 15 year dances
Church basement romances yeah I`ve cried
Spilling my guts with the bowery bums
Is the only love I`ve ever known
Except for the stage
Which I also call home when I`m not
Servin` up god in a burnt
Coffee pot for the triad
Hello it`s the most famous woman
You know on the ipad
Calling from beyond the grave
I just wanna say hi dad
I`ve been tearing up town
In my fucking white gown
Like a goddamn near sociopath
Shaking my ass is the only thing that`s
Got this black narcissist off my back
She couldn`t care less
And I never cared more
So there`s no more to say about that
Except hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman with my past
There`s a new revolution
A loud evolution that I saw
Born of confusion and quiet
Collusion of which mostly I`ve known
A modern day woman with a weak
Constitution `cause I`ve got
Monsters still under my bed
That I could never fight off
A gatekeeper carelessly
Dropping the keys on my nights off
I`ve been tearing around
In my fucking nightgown
24/7 sylvia plath
Writing in blood on your walls
`Cause the ink in my pen
Don`t look good in my pad
They write that I`m happy
They know that I`m not
But at best you can see I`m not sad
But hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing
For a woman like me to have
But I have it
Yeah I have it
Yeah I have it
I have
