Every Single Night Lyrics - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do - Fiona Apple

Every single night 

I endure the flight 

Of little wings of white flamed 

Butterflies in my brain 

These ideas of mine 

Percolate the mind 

Trickle down the spine 

Swarm the belly swelling to a blaze 

That's where the pain comes in 

Like a second skeleton 

Trying to fit beneath the skin 

I can't fit the feelings in 

Oh every single night's alight 

With my brain 

What'd I say to her? 

Why'd I say it to her? 

What does she think of me? 

That I'm not what I ought to be? 

And what I turn out to be has got to be somebody else's fault 

I can't get caught 

If what I am is what I am 

'Cause I does what I does 

Then brother, get back, 'cause my breast's gonna bust open 

The rib is the shell, and the heart is the yolk 

And I just made a meal for us both to choke on 

Every single night's a fight with my brain 

I just wanna feel everything 

I just wanna feel everything 

I just wanna feel everything 

So I'm gonna try to be still now 

Gonna renounce from the mill for a while 

And if we had a double king sized bed 

We could move in it and I'd soon forget 

That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does 

And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open 

My heart's made of parts of all that's around me 

And that's why the devil just can't get around me 

Every single nights alright, and every single night's a fight 

And every single fight's alright, with my brain 

I just wanna feel everything 

I just wanna feel everything 

I just wanna feel everything 

I just wanna feel everything
