The needle she drowned in her
Melanin sea, sun
Set like a diamond in your wedding ring

Took all the God
Now there's no God left for me
So I will wander alone
Darling, don't mind me
Just leave me be

I was just a bird too afraid to spread his wings
Staring at the bars of cages
Not the spaces in between

The choir was quiet
As the cotton field white
Just another thing to keep me up at night

Another little thing to keep me up at night

I wish that you held me
Like your beat up Dodge Colt's pretty frame
Wrapped itself around that telephone pole

The choir was quiet
As the cotton field white
Just another thing to keep me up at night
Another little thing to keep me up at night
Another little thing to keep me up at night
