Winnie Lyrics - Neko Case

I'm here to tell you a story 

I'm here to tell you a lie 

My poetry's weak and I know it 

I was dropped dead sad and crazy sometimes 

So I fucked off, wayward canon to the sea 

On land I was just an appetite 

All that started as a joke, now it ruled me 

Sick on chronic mathematics 

I just wanted to feel music 

A fever delivered me from the flue 

The night hag's hands spread lovingly 

Pulling the cape from the sunrise 

Revealing a bank of warships called she

Less Warlike then reckless, I realized 

No weapons were drawn that I could see 

Save the blazing stare of the captain 

Who held lightning captive frim in her teeth 

So I looked off the edge of the world 

I saw the girl who changed everything 

That's when I met Winnie 

I wanted to be her sailor's tattoo 

She sang me a song that was too sad for some 

Struck up the band and filled up her lungs 

Her mouth was sharp as the rib of a star 

As She told no truths 

That would break our own hearts 

We were warriors! 

We clothed ourselves in the deaths of our enemies 

Who'd no respect for the wild 

Warriors! 

Long before hog wire safari park husbandry

And the joy ran through us like a welders flux 

We just wanted to be music 

The joy ran through us like a welders flux 

We just wanted to be music 

Her gravity pulled up my sad remains 

Into the curve of cunning bow 

I've loved you so long, Winnie 

I want to be your sailor's tattoo 

I've loved you so long, Winnie 

Blurring softly into you
