Porcelain

     (break me like a porcelain doll)

     Well, I've felt the fortunes of life
     And I've toyed with things that add to my strife
     Well, you see I've felt the fires of hell
     And I've come to know the devil too well

     Crack for me as he dangles meat in front of my eyes
     Sing to me, as the words roll off the holy man cries

     Maybe wanna keep me out yeah
     Maybe wanna keep me out
     They all wanna keep me out yeah
     They all wanna keep me out

     So smooth the skin of her throat
     I lick the beads of sweat as I gloat
     I know I've seen good fortune in life
     I've felt the heat of another man's wife

     Crack for me as she dangles fruit in front of my eyes
     Into me as I lose the fight

     Maybe wanna keep me out yeah
     Maybe wanna keep me out
     They all wanna keep me out yeah
     They all wanna keep me out

     Break me into pieces
     Throw me to the winds
     Break me into pieces
     Fragile as a newborn child, so
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Crack me, break me, plant me in the sea

     If I could I'd leave here
     Far beyond my years
     Run to soothing rivers
     Cleanse me, I am near

     Well, I've seen the fortunes of life
     And I've toyed with things that add to my strife
     Well, you see I've felt the fires of hell
     And I've come to know the devil too well

     Maybe wanna keep me out yeah
     Maybe wanna keep me out
     They all wanna keep me out yeah
     They all wanna keep me out

     Break me into pieces
     Throw me to the winds
     Break me into pieces
     Fragile as a newborn child, so
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Crack me, break me, force me gently, take me, cleanse me, plant me in the sea

     Maybe wanna keep me out yeah
     Maybe wanna keep me out
     They all wanna keep me out yeah
     They all wanna keep me out
 
     Break me into pieces
     Throw me to the northern winds
     Break me into pieces
     Fragile as a newborn child, so
     Break me like a porcelain doll yeah
     Break me like a porcelain doll
     Break me like a porcelain doll yeah
     Crack me, break me, force me gently,
     Take me, cleanse me, plant me in the sea
