lyrics

Whistle that song singing Dixie
How heavy is the hand that you hold?
Lover, you’re no fighter. You’ve got no place to go.
You’ve got the whole world in your throat.
You’ve got an iron grip on your coat, it lets you go.

Wide-eye like a baby, you’re cold concrete like a whore
You’ve got those heavy legs meant for loving.
You’ve got those eyes pushed back to the floor.
You’ve got the whole world and more.
You’ve got an iron grip on your sores.

And the men start thinking you’re old
and they know by now, it’s the first to go,
Cassie, you’ve got what I need.
Cassie, now you’re knee-deep in concrete.

“But I survive on all my pie-in-the-sky way of life
but it’s been dragging me down for a while.
Never again. No, never again.”

My baby is a firestarter, she’s always burning at both ends.
My baby sets herself on fire in the end.
