Trout Heart Replica Lyrics - Amanda Palmer

They've been circling 

They've been circling 

Since the day they were born 

It's disturbing 

How they're circling 

Fifty feet from the pond 

Pretty often 

Pretty often 

I don't want to be told 

It's a problem 

It's a problem 

It's a problem I know 

And I won't keep what I can't catch in my bare hands without a net 

It's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences

They've been jerking 

They've been jerking 

In a pail by the dock 

I know that oxygen might 

Make them blossom and die 

But I'm not going to talk 

Feed them details 

Feed them emails 

They'll eventually grow 

But it's not working 

It's not working 

Not as far as I know 

And killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part 

And when the wizard gets to me I'm asking for a smaller heart 

And I got you 

I thought that I got you 

now I'll ruin it all 

Photos 

Feeling helpless 

Acting selfish 

Being human and all 

And they're jumping 

And they're jumping 

But they'll never get out 

Just keep touring 

Just keep on ignoring 

Be a good little trout 

And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block 

He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise 

Wait, we'll trade you 

Wait 

Please just one more day 

And then we'll go with no complaining 

No complaining 

No complaining 

No complaining 

Stop 

Come 

And they're cutting 

And they're cutting 

And I think that I know 

And they're gutting 

And they're gutting 

And I think that I know 

And it's beating 

Look, it's beating 

And I don't want to know 

And it's beating 

Look, it's still beating 

God, I don't want to know 

And killing things is not so hard 

It's hurting that's the hardest part 

And when the wizard gets to me 

I'm asking for a smaller heart 

And if he tells me "no" 

I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor 

Eventually I'm know I'm doomed 

To get what I am asking for 

Now my heart is exactly the size 

Of a six-sided die cut in half 

Made of ruby red stained glass 

Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise 

I'll love you and I'll make you laugh? 

Now my heart is exactly the size 

Of a six-sided die cut in half 

Made of ruby red stained glass 

Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise 

I'll love you and I'll make you laugh?
