7. Fast As You Can

I let the beast in too soon.
I don’t know how to live
Without my hand on his throat;
I fight him always & still.
O darling, it's so sweet,
You think you know how crazy,
How crazy I am. You say you don’t spook easy,
You won’t go, but I know
And I pray that you will.
Fast as you can, baby run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can.

I may be soft in your palm but
I’ll soon grow hungry for a fight,
And I will not let you win.
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases
That will disprove your faith in man.
So if you catch me trying to find my way into
Your heart from under your skin,
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out,
Free yourself fast as you can.
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out,
Free yourself fast as you can.

Sometimes my mind don’t shake and shift.
But most of the time, it does.
And I get to the place where I’m begging for a lift
Or I’ll drown in the wonders and the was.
And I’ll be your girl, if you say it’s a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs.
Yeah, I’ll be your pet,
If you just tell me it’s a gift.
Cuz I’m tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because.

I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him, but it’s too soon
So I’ll fight again,
Again, again, again, again.
And for a little while more, I'll soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land.
But if you’re getting any bright ideas,
Quiet dear, I’m blooming within.
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me,
I’ll be out. Fast as I can,
Maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can, leave me, let this thing
Run its route,
Fast as you can.
Fast as you can.
Fast as you can.
Fast as you can.
