she s the song that you tried to sing and the note that you couldn t hit so you locked her up in a music box turned the key on all of us she spins silver strings in the dark with metal teeth that ring in her heart when the cover drops the world just fades away away away from her waiting waiting waiting for her to say it k i s s i m in distress i need someone to spell it out a book of matches and a cigarette a love note that you never sent you can fold it up but you won t forget you can strike a match but it still might not light now i m the one that s stuck inside the silver cage the bird that can t fly away clip its wings if it sings of the way the way the way that it hurt waiting waiting waiting for her to say it k i s s i m in distress i need someone to spell it out these words mean nothing but this k i s s signals distress there s nothing left to talk about  low f i d e l i t y do all love songs turn out this way can t you hear me when i say you re in my heart in my hands round my neck we move like a carousel streak lights and mirrors fill our eyes it s time to let this go can t stop spinning around around around around around around around around around around around k i s s i m in distress i need someone to spell it out these words mean nothing to me now
