Grey Matter

Jewel

I hate you, I love you
Leave, don't go away
I can't decide if I like your face
Or if I wish it would stray…

You're a child but you're malicious
You're sweet but don't remember my name
Heads you win, tails I'm lost
Love equals pain

I'm drifting without an anchor
Through your ambiguous region
Strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by your grey matter

Inside my skin, I feel your tongue
It's telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones
A scrape against silence, a knife against a plate
Makes the sound of need on hate

I'm drifting without an anchor
Through your ambiguous region
Strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by your grey matter
And I do not understand 
Why a woman can't just love a man

You're amusing, you're a real cool show
With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival
You got moth holes in your pocket
You got moth holes in your soul
From too many false teeth and greasy flashbulbs

And I am drifting without an anchor
Through your ambiguous region
A strange continent immune to all reason
And I'm flattered 
And I'm flattered by your grey matter
