Blake Says [2005 version]
Amanda Palmer
blake says no one ever really loved him
they just faked it to get money from the government
and blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust
he shakes his head and blinks his pretty eyes
but trust me he's no
he's no
he's no valentine
though he said he would be mine
his heart is in alaska all the time
blake stays underwater for the most part
he collects loose change for all tomorrow's parties
and when blake dates girls with tattooes of the pyramids
he breaks their hearts by saying it's not permanent
but in his velvet mind
he believes with all his might
we'll all go to alaska when we die
blake makes friends but only for a minute
he prefers the things he orders from the internet
and blake's been having trouble with his head again
he takes his pills but never takes his medicine
like candy in his prime
he likes his shirts to shine
and when it's two o'clock it feels like nine
blake says he would like to learn to scream
but he mistakes his shakes for allergies to triptomynes
and blake says he can't feel at home in anyplace
particular, i'm guessing that's why outerspace
is like is second home
he can't stay on the phone
he's waiting for a call from ground control
blake says he is sorry he got through to me
if it's okay he'll call right back and talk to the machine
blake says it looks like acid rain today
he takes the fish inside he's very kind that way
but just like caroline
he doesn't seem to mind
the globe is getting warmer all the time
it's still cold in alaska
it's still cold in alaska
it's still cold in alaska
