Melody Dean Lyrics - Amanda Palmer

I never met a lady 

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean 

And when I laid my head 

Down on her heart 

It beated out your name 

And so I had to listen 

To her heartbeat 

Several hundred times 

And she was very nice about it 

Held my hand and didn't mind

I never put my foot in the same river twice 

I don't like getting wet 

You take the good 

You take the bad 

You take it all 

And that is all you get 

The fact is you would rather I be lonely 

In a bathtub with a book 

The fact is you would rather I sat pining 

On our pictures from New York 

New York, New York, New York 

But I get torn to pieces 

For the stupidest reasons 

All I want's to love the one I'm with 

Just like the song says 

Photos 

I don't like picking sides 

I don't like sticking 

My Cherona in a box 

I like to spread her out on different crackers, yeah 

I like the way she looks 

And when I go to bed at night 

With Melody undressing in my head 

To get to sleep 

You know that I would rather be undressing you instead 

Instead, instead, instead 

I never met a lady 

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean 

And even though I know you are 

A little bit angry with me 

You know that it is you I love 

And you I want to get me off 

But you can only do that when you're here 

And right now you are not 

I never cross the Continental Divide 

Without thinking about you 

I am a tree that's carved up with her name 

She is a warrior tattoo 

And the fact is you're selective 

About what you can remember for a start 

The fact is you're just jealous as all get out 

We can do it in the dark 

The dark, the dark, the dark 

But I get torn to pieces for the stupidest reasons 

All I want's to love the one I'm with 

Like Stephen Stills says 

I never met a lady 

Quite as pretty as Melody Dean 

And even though I know you are 

A little bit angry with me 

You know that it is you I love 

And you I want to get me off 

But you can only do that when you're here 

And right now you are not
