Handsome Family – She Awoke With A Jerk lyrics
[Verse 1]
She awoke with a jerk
What had they done?
She awoke with the shock
What had they begun?
She awoke to the sound
Of their blue-white laughter
Hot in her hands
And an idea for a chapter
[Chorus]
All she wanted was fame
Or playing the marital game
Maybe she just wanted love
When death came and gave her a shove
[Verse 2]
She awoke under the house
Two nights after fall
Another screw loose
In the space they call crawl
She awoke and she thought,
Where is the sky?
It's funny you know
How time flies
[Chorus]
And she thought it was mud
Always gave him her blood
All she wanted to do
Was gaze up into the blue
[Verse 3]
She awoke with a jerk
What had she done?
She awoke with the shock
What had she begun?
She awoke to the sound
Of people who asked her
What do you want?
What is it you're after?
[Chorus]
All she wanted to do
Was tell him, "You bastard, I'm through--
Can't do no more black shoe,
With my nerves burning electric blue"
She awoke with a jerk
What had they done?
She awoke with the shock
What had they begun?
She awoke to the sound
Of their blue-white laughter
Hot in her hands
And an idea for a chapter
[Chorus]
All she wanted was fame
Or playing the marital game
Maybe she just wanted love
When death came and gave her a shove
[Verse 2]
She awoke under the house
Two nights after fall
Another screw loose
In the space they call crawl
She awoke and she thought,
Where is the sky?
It's funny you know
How time flies
[Chorus]
And she thought it was mud
Always gave him her blood
All she wanted to do
Was gaze up into the blue
[Verse 3]
She awoke with a jerk
What had she done?
She awoke with the shock
What had she begun?
She awoke to the sound
Of people who asked her
What do you want?
What is it you're after?
[Chorus]
All she wanted to do
Was tell him, "You bastard, I'm through--
Can't do no more black shoe,
With my nerves burning electric blue"
