Oh Sorrow, Oh Shame Lyrics - Singles - Odds

Drinking like a teenage, using up the Kleenex 

Staring at the CD rack 

Asking myself which fuzz box band 

Would sound the best 

I try on your lipstick 

I try on your clothes 

I wanna be you for a little while 

And I'm freaked out enough to bloody my own nose 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

Take me by the shoulders, shake me to the brain 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

I've locked myself in a room again 

A glossy of you next to my face 

Looking in the mirror 

I see us frozen like cavemen 

Discovered together in a thousand years 

Every little town 

Has it's three-legged cat 

I'm happy to live that way 

'Cause no one expects me to catch the rat 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

Take me by the shoulders, shake me to the brain 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

I've locked myself in a room again 

I cross myself 

And do my best 'Acid queen' 

A cross between a dime store witch 

And a whirling painted Martin Sheen 

I try on your lipstick 

I try on your hose 

I wanna be you for a little while 

I'm freaked out enough to bloody my own nose 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

Take me by the shoulders, shake me to the brain 

Oh sorrow, oh shame 

I've locked myself in a room again
