I Killed Sara V. Lyrics - We Loved Her Dearly - Lowell

I killed Sara V. 

Rest in peace. We loved her dearly. 

I woke up, and there was she, 

Standing low and limp before me. 

And I reached to find a breath, 

My fingertips along her chest. 

Her lingerie on the floor, defibrillator 

Hardened kiss, her lip gloss sweet. 

So long sweet Sara V. 

So long sweet Sara V. 

Please exorcise me 

Please, please exorcise me 

I woke up on a Saturday night 

Didn't feel like trying, but I missed the real life 

Sippin' on caffeine, wakin' at 5 

Working 9 to 9, and whinin' about 

My bank account going down by the minute. 

With the suits on bank 

I hoped to see me thrive. 

And not too long 'till I find myself 

Gettin' high with strangers, takin' a trip to 

Heaven with a bottle of gin in hand, 

Hopin' high would help me swallow everything. 

I lose myself with your body beside me, 

Lying lifeless, helpless, heaven help us. 

Hope for the boys on the lower east side, 

Throwin' back their hearts on the lifeline 

Makin' a dime. 

So long Sara V. 

So long Sara V. 

So long Sara V. 

So long. 

And the girls undressed on the high street 

Callin' it quits just to get a little bit. 

And I hope someday you and I will find the life 

through the world in the suburbs, there we hide. 

So long Sara V. 

So long Sara V. 

So long Sara V. 

So long. 

Take a little breath, take a little breath 

Everybody knows we can't go down from here. 

And the kids in the wilderness 

Never been stopped by the cops for the color of their skin 

And I think too bad, nearly everyone who can 

Buy my record has the money to keep themselves 

From knowing that the truth is that you get rich and 

Everyone else just lies beneath you 

So long Sara V. 

So long.
