  • There's a heat in the pavement
    My mercury's raising
    Don't know if it's love or if it's ovulation
    When you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
    The mist from the fountain is kissin' my neck
    The liquid crystals in my grip
    Anyone with a snake tongue, I show 'em the chambers of my heart

    Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
    But I really do think there could be a connection
    I run and I sing and I skip and I dance
    Some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man
    Oh

    I might have been born again
    I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
    There's peace in the madness
    Over our heads, let it
    Carry me uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, up

    Ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah

    Today, I'll go to Canal Street
    They're piercing my ears
    I'm makin' a wish when the needle goes in
    Take an aura picture
    Read it and tell me who I am (tell me who I am)

    Now I know you don't deal much in love and affection
    But I really do think you can make an exception
    It's a beautiful life, so I play truant
    I jerk tears and they pay me to do it
    Oh

    I might have been born again
    I'm ready to feel like I don't have the answers
    There's peace in the madness
    Over our heads, let it
    Carry me uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, up

    Ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah

    Let it break me down
    'Til I'm just a wreck
    'Til I'm just a voice living in your head (ah-ah-ah)
    It's a fucked up world
    Been to hell and back
    But I've sent you a postcard from the edge
    The edge
    Mm
    Mm
