[Verse 1]
She says too much when she sleepwalks around
Her hips are a warm sarcophagus
She's so sadistic when she's sober and, oh
Self-destructive and sexy when the weather's hot

[Chorus]
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart ain't carved of stone?
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart is on the road?

[Verse 2]
She fences heartbreak across the border
And builds a better bird house out of bone
She laughs when the main protagonist's family dies
But I wouldn't trust her when she cries at night

[Chorus]
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart ain't carved of stone?
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart is on the road?

[Bridge]
Why? That is the way we do
Gun shot and left in the desert to die
Why? That is the way we do
Gun shot and left in the desert to dry
[Chorus]
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart ain't carved of stone?
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart ain't carved of bone?
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart ain't a bar of soap?
Wouldn't I want her to know that my heart is just as cold?

[Outro]
Why do we do the things that we do even though we know we are?
Why should I say what's already been said better one hundred times before?
It's so lovely when the worlds collide and the ship spins out of control
It's so lovely when the worlds collide and the ship spins out of control
Why do we do the things we do even though we know we are?
Why should I say what's already been said better by someone else?
