Ampersand Lyrics - Who Killed Amanda Palmer (dig) - Amanda Palmer

I walk down my street at night 

The city lights are cold and violent 

I am comforted by the 

Approaching sounds of trucks and sirens 

Even though the world's so bad 

These men rush out to help the dying 

And though I am no use to them 

I do my part by simply smiling 

The ghetto boys are catcalling me 

As I pull my keys from my pocket 

I wonder if this method of courtship 

Has ever been effective 

Has any girl in history said 

"Sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on"? 

Still, I always shock them when I answer 

"Hi, my name's Amanda 

And I'm not gonna live my life 

On one side of an ampersand 

And even if I went with you 

I'm not the girl you think I am 

And I'm not gonna match you 

'Cause I'll lose my voice completely, no 

I'm not gonna watch you 

'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy"

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I have wasted years of my life 

Agonizing up at the fires 

I started when I thought that to be strong 

You must be flame retardant 

And now to dress the wound's cause into question 

How authentic they are 

There is always someone criticizing me 

"She just likes paying hospital." 

Lying in my bed 

I remember what you said 

There's no such thing as accidents 

But you've got the headstones all ready 

All craved up and pretty 

Your sick satisfaction 

Those his and hers matching 

The daisies all push up'n 

Pairs to the horizons 

Your eyes full of ketchup 

It's nice that you're trying 

The headstones all ready 

All carved up and pretty 

Your sick satisfaction 

Those his and hers matching 

The daises all push up'n 

Pairs to the horizon 

Your eyes full of ketchup 

It's nice that you're trying 

But I'm not gonna live my life 

On one side of an ampersand 

And even if I went with you 

I'm not the girl you think I am 

And I'm not gonna match you 

'Cause I'll lose my voice completely, no 

I'm not gonna watch you 

'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah 

As I wake up, two o'clock 

The fire burned the block 

But poetically stopped at my apartment 

And my housemates are all sleeping soundly 

And nobody deserves to die 

But you were awful adamant 

That if I didn't love you 

Then you'd have just one alternative 

And I may be romantic 

And I may risk my life for it 

But I ain't gonna die for you 

You know I ain't no Juliet 

And I'm not gonna watch you 

While you burn yourself out, baby 

No, I'm not gonna stop you 

'Cause I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah 

I'm not the one that's crazy, oh yeah 

I'm not the one that's crazy
