sylvia
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 9.15.98
fall day/
my head hurts/
again but not before/
sun's gone/
behind a cloud/
a chill in my bones/
look at me/
stripped down/
striped down to a pose //
two nights ago/
i felt like sylvia/
2am in a dark place/
two nights ago/
i wished i was sylvia/
where's my razor blade/
i need to sleep now/ // /
swing set/
an insect/
trap me in a jar/
children/
i've got to get/
got to get so far/
two nights ago/
i felt like sylvia/
4am in a dark place/
two nights ago/
i wished i was sylvia/
won't my razor break/
it's almost dawn/ // /
nightturnstodayina nightintodayfora nightwaslikedayina
nightjustlikedayfora // /
a chill breeze/
that swing again/
i'm trapped outside my bones/
stone church/
front step/
i'm lost... so lost, and no one's home //
two nights ago/
i felt like sylvia/
6am in my cell/
two nights ago/
i read sylvia/
my razor's weak/
my blood flows to[o] slow/
oh, sylvia/ sylvia...
