it started up slowly, now I got something to say / all the pain owned me, and I got traded away / the stubbornness of a moonbeam shone a light on my face / I see someone older, spinning wheels in place // all the words turned and curled and crunched beneath my feet / I stop and stare, September pair, is this our favorite street? // has it been years since we spoke? / silent punch line of a cruel joke / I see light at the end // in strips and stripes, in gold and white and pink and taupe, you know / if I’d had half a mind I’d have apologized, but damn the pride, you know // slowly, it don’t own me / slowly, it don’t own me // of all the ways, to close a heart, I do mine like an art / take little steps inside myself on the hunt for the dark / fists of rage, only friends, by my side from the start / only me in my own pen, to throw and take the punch // all the words turned and curled and crunched beneath my feet / I stop and stare, September pair, is this our favorite street? // has it been years since we spoke? / silent punch line of a cruel joke / I see light at the end // in strips and stripes, in gold and white and pink and taupe, you know / if I’d had half a mind I’d have apologized, but damn the pride, you know // slowly, it don’t own me / slowly, it don’t own me

oh it got me crawling, but I don’t even want it / oh, you see me hauling, got no time for the talking // about the way, it was supposed to be / I don’t play the sofa remedy // oh I’ve gone and stolen, what I thought I wanted / I can’t stop going for that stuck little target / and my head feels like an open wound / fighting off what I’m supposed to do //oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / you don’t know what I’d do / you don’t know what I’d do // oh so keep me moving – a steady rate of fire / I’m built to feel some cooling from reloading – I’m a liar // to stop now, would be to burn up / I won’t know how to fill the hollow up // oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / you don’t know what I’d do / you don’t know what I’d do / clever maker’s cruelty, did have to make the point / the battle’s shame is fruitless, and am I just the way // you drive home the lesson for the good / while I denote veteran curse and woe // oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / oh the Gatling girl, the Gatling girl / you don’t know what I’d do / you don’t know what I’d do
