I Killed Sara V. - Lowell

I killed Sara V

Rest in peace.

We loved her dearly

I woke up, and there was she

Standing low and limp before me

And I reached to find a breath

My fingertips along her chest

Her lingerie on the floor, defibrillate her heart

And kiss her lip gloss sweet

So long sweet Sara V

So long sweet Sara V

Please exorcise me

Please, please exorcise me

I woke up on a Saturday night

Didn’t feel like trying, but I missed the real life

Sippin' on caffeine, wakin' at 5

Working 9 to 9, and whinin' about

My bank account going down by the minute

With the suits on bank

I hoped to see me thrive

And not too long 'till I find myself

Gettin' high with strangers, takin' a trip to

Heaven with a bottle of gin in hand

Hopin' high would help me swallow everything

I lose myself with your body beside me

Lying lifeless, helpless, heaven help us

Hope for the boys on the lower east side

Throwin' back their hearts on the lifeline

Makin' a dime

So long Sara V

So long Sara V

So long Sara V

So long

And the girls undressed on the high street

Callin' it quits just to get a little bit

And I hope someday you and I will find the life

Through the world in the suburbs, there we hide

So long Sara V

So long Sara V

So long Sara V

So long

Take a little breath, take a little breath

Everybody knows that we can’t go down from here

And the kids in the wilderness

Never been stopped by the cops for the color of their skin

And I think too bad, nearly everyone who can

Buy my record has the money to keep themselves

From knowing that the truth is that you get rich and

Everyone else just lies beneath you

So long Sara V

So long
