Public Access Girls

Take what you saw
Cat’s claw
Turn the straw into gold
Take a stab
You need it bad
Like a Willy Wonka chocolate-covered bath
It’s so sad, can I paint your face?
Press the screen against my face
I’ll take a cab, I’ll take a car
Don’t touch your wrist, it’s not too far
Public access girls on the verge of suicide
Sleep tight, sleep tight just try and rest your eyes
As the moments crawl by the outside horns
And flashing lights
Sleep tight, sleep tight, let the mysteries come untied
Out here alone, where time is frozen
Transmitting lines run so deep and open
Thorns and thistles, tiny missiles
Penetrating while we’re waiting
Dangling from the rope is the slightest thread of hope
Public access girls on the verge of suicide
Sleep tight, sleep tight just try and rest your eyes
As the moments crawl by the outside horns
And flashing lights
Sleep tight, sleep tight, there’s no tears left in your eyes
Sleep tight, sleep tight, you just can’t believe your eyes
In the middle of the night, when the mysteries come untied
