Stained, lyric by Kristin Hersh

from the songs album Strange Angels

I guess you heard, hell you're so weird
Like a spider, always here
You never stay, hell you're so strange
You let me drown in my own wave

I'm stained, never change, never change,
Stained under my nails and down my back
You know the sleaziest attacks
You stay, never change, never change
Use me I get stronger
I get weaker when you treat me like a queen

You have nerves of steel, you're just like me
Two spiders hanging from one tree
We're sunny now, us lucky things
We're smiling down one endless day

I'm stained, never change, never change,
Stained under my clouds and down my back
You know the sleaziest attacks
You stay, never change, never change
Use me I get stronger
I get weaker when you treat me like a queen

I never asked them in
Ask me have I been trying I been
I guess we just won't ever sleep again
I don't forget
We look much better now for all this
I guess we just won't ever drink again
I guess we just won't ever drink again
