Vanilla Lyrics - Tanya Donelly

( Pretty Deep 7" ) 

She strolled into my backyard 

Drinking wine from a dixie cup 

Like you would 

Showed her past my playing cards 

Laid it down and I pick it up to see 

What am i made of 

What am I made of 

Water, guts, and blood 

And she looks just like my mother 

When my mother was a swinger 

And she laughs just like a young John Wayne 

And she'd smell just like vanilla 

If vanilla weren't so sweet 

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh 

And I think I'm falling with her 

And that's what I'm made of 

Oh so now that I'm in love 

Sinking in your bathtub 

And I know I'm not coming up 

Flashing in your snagteeth 

A vision of my day with you 

What am i made of 

What am I made of 

Water, guts, and blood 

And she looks just like my mother 

When my mother was a swinger 

And she laughs just like a young John Wayne 

And she'd smell just like vanilla 

If vanilla weren't so sweet 

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh 

And I think I'm falling with her 

And that's what I'm made of 

Oh so now that I'm in love 

There's a reason why you live 

There's a reason why you live
