Good Girl
Paris Paloma
Heaven is a fed girl
Somebody's got to, somebody's got to
And if you call me "good girl"
One more time, then my fist will meet your skull
GI sometimes walk naked
A child in the garden,C and I pretend that there is no other way
EmDespite the distant shadow of incredulous laughterC
Echoing as if I should know why it's there
EmBut I like the feeling
CI'm at the beginning of time, and no thoughts of who I amEm have entered my mind
CI bend over the river and catch the glimpse of something that'sEm none of my business
As IC scoop some up to drink, I disperse whatever it was
And you canEm scream at me all you want that the greatest love affairC is with myself
That it should be passionate,Em unwavering
No shadow of a doubt that IC am in love with my body, and my body is Emin love with me
But I am not, the water isD not in love with the cup that I drank from
Heaven is aC fed girl
Somebody'sG got to, somebody's got to
And if you call meD "good girl"
One moreEm time, then my fist willD meet your skull
CFor God's sake, how could I even beGgin
To clean up the mess of thisC relationship
With my body? ThatEm third eye turned inwards on me
CRunning as if in a dream,Em getting out and wading backC in
Through the quagmire of who I mightEm be
Balancing the scaffolding ofC skin
And I grieve itEm
I grieve the world where IC am a child in theD garden
Heaven is aC fed girl
Somebody'sG got to, somebody's got to
And if you call meD "good girl"
One more timeEm, then my fist willD meet your skull
Heaven is aC fed girl
Somebody'sG got to, somebody's got to
And if you call me D"good girl"
One more timeEm, then I willD break your nose
CAnd I say it to myself, "Somebody's got to"
GAnd I repeat it in my teeth, "Somebody's got to"
DCut free and let the soft down grow on you
EmNever let the tideD be one more drop full
CGo under the knife, make a new normal
GOr die gnarled and happy, an old animal
DI'd gnaw off my leg to escape it allEmD
Let timeC take me, weather like the tree
How clever toG make a girl's own face the enemy
In the half-light, she'llD agonize to be evergreen
A "Good girlEm always look andD never be"
Heaven is aC fed girl
Somebody'sG got to, somebody's got to
And if you call meD "good girl"
One more time,Em then my fist willD meet your skull
Heaven is aC fed girl
Somebody'sG got to, somebody's got to
And if you call meD "good girl"
One more time,Em then I willD break your nose
