Oh my heart
What's it there for
If there's no one but myself
To care for
Oh my heart
Is a stone
It's ossified
Into a bone
Oh my heart's
A useless feature
In this body of a
Human creature
Oh my heart
Is a quilt
Stitched together with
Centuries of guilt
And I wail
For the sky to come down
I wail
To fall into the ground
I wail
But what's the use
When I wail
For you
Oh my heart
Is leaving town
It has no cause
To stick around
