Bat For Lashes - Sarah Lyrics






Adopting Sarah's heart
Was never gonna be easy
With an angel tattoo sinking beneath her belt
Sarah
And the dirty blonde sea-water
Sea-water gushing down
Chewing fingernails in her shit-eating grin
Sarah

They cut out her heart when
She was a little girl
And in the fishing boat she thought
She saw the shadow of God
Sarah
He didn't smile at her and she decided
He never came at all
And when she died, she was going nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel

Adopting Sarah's heart
Was never gonna be easy
Changing from black to blonde to black to blonde
Sarah
But on the dirty tarmac of
The tarmac of a melting motorway
She gave me her clothes and told me to take her place, her place

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel

Sarah, I want to be like you
Sarah
You know sometimes I want to live like you
Sarah
So I know how it feels not to feel
