Lyrics
Ordinary Moth Parts (All In A Row)
by Christine Anderson
The doctor walks in and confesses his sin to the nurses
The priest was released for addressing the clergy in curses
And I’m still in bed with the bump on my head
That I got when I fell down the stairs
I threw myself down cuz you’ve not been around
And I don’t like our state of affairs
Yet I’ve not succeeded to show you I’m needed
My love goes unheeded again
I feel like you’ve left me, a moth on a sill
And I’m breaking up in the wind.
Where’s the connection? I need your affection
This isn’t the way things should be
The parts of my heart have been broken apart
And I’ve lined them up for you to see
They’re all in a row, all in row
Ordinary moth parts
All in a row
I guess I admit I don’t think you’re legit
And it raises the burden of proof
And yes I confess that I tend to obsess
But I’ve started to guess at the truth
I know you like drinks and I’ve started to think
That you picked up some minx at the bar
I can picture you there with your hands in her hair
And her lipstick around your cigar
I’ve bet you’ve got women
All in a row, all in a row
Ordinary women
All in a row
Summer’s here it’s that time again, salvation’s all we need
And yet, time goes by unending, yeah, at such ferocious speed
And I stop to think for a little while; it’s really not too long
But I look away, and in that instant the moment is gone
I’ll end it for me; it’s come such a degree out of hand
That I’m gonna go insane; I've gotta end the pain
And babe I gotta end it fast as I can
I’ve got bullets! They’re...
All in a row, all in a row,
Just ordinary bullets
And baby I told you so!
They’re just all in a row, all in a row
Just like ordinary moth parts
All in a row
