Fast As You Can by Fiona Apple

---it's incredible--mirrors the defensive--trying to send the people you love away from you so you can just sink into the ed. (the ed is the 'beast')

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
