Anesthesia

Anesthesia - Brenda Kahn

Written by：B. KAHN

She wore a half smile

Always laughing in the wind

I know it sounds cliched but it's all true

I know it sounds cliched but I love you

She wore an old black trenchcoat

To cover up her skin

She were no fool

She didn't let anybody in

Pulled off the highway they

Strip searched the van

All the cops are so bored in Ashland ohio

And they believe you if you swear you're telling lies

And that's the ties by the violence

They are clapping their hands

She took a picture

Of every town that she been through

An empty postcard store in her mind's eye

And tipped her hat

To the passers by

I forgot and got the man

Malcom X and Billy Graham

They cried out

I don't know you from eve madam

And they believe you if you swear you're telling lies

And that's the ties

By the violence

They are clapping their hands

Stripped to her senses

She wanted to go home

Sometimes he'd take her there

Sometimes he'd just kept on drinking

Sometimes to despair

And she wore a half smile

Always laughing in the wind

I know it sounds cliche but it's all true

I know it sounds cliched

But I love you

And they believe you if you

Swear you're telling lies

And that's the ties by the violence

They are clapping their hands
