Straw Into Gold

I wonder if you sleep right now

Do you realize I'm clinging to the edge of this bed?

I have nowhere to go, I have nowhere

If I leave, you'll call me quitter

If I stay, you'll punish me with silence and somehow

You'll fall asleep, you'll fall asleep

Well, do you know that I won't sleep?

No, I won't sleep all night long

As your silhouette turns its' back on my spoon

I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this leprechaun's wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow, when my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

I'll try to cash in clovers for gold

So I'll light a candle and begin to write

Turn to my work as refuge

Though my womb is a rush hour taxi ride

But I will try

To metamorphose pain along my plight

But I'll despise each word I write

So I am clinging to the edge

Like some soap-opera star with her ten second fade

The lights cascade

Do you love me anymore?

Do you know that I won't sleep?

No, I won't sleep all night long

As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon

I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon

Leaping this rumplestiltskin's wall

I'm so disenchanting

Intoxicated by my own tear's soul

And come tomorrow when my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

And come tomorrow

When my beauty is old

Like a speckled princess

Straw into gold

Straw into gold

Straw into gold

Straw into gold

Spinning for mercy

Spinning for hope

I am spinning for some lover, ooh

Don't you know I am spinning for some gold?
