Sadie

Alkaline Trio · Remains [2007]

You're on your own my little nightmare

You cannot stay here

It's far too bright for you

If they attack you just lay there

Play dead, dear, it's your only hope of pulling through

And seconds they seem like a lifetime

A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true

And they'll pin it all on you

After all you've been put through



'Sadie G., she's crazy, see?'

That's what the white coats say

Now Miss Susan A., your losing every opportunity

To put us all away



Now run along my little nightmare

Your job is done here

You've scared them all to death

If they revive them, just sit there

Just smile, dear, make them thankful for every breath

This sentence may seem like a lifetime

A scream, that's curdling the blood they found on you

And your knives and clothing too

Charlie's broken .22



'Sadie G., she's crazy, see?'

That's what the white coats say

Now Miss Susan A., your losing every opportunity

Well they found you and they shipped you

Up the river the same way

That you bound and gagged

You shot and stabbed

You tried to set them free

But they've thrown away the keys



[Female speaking:]

He represented a God to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him.

I'd do anything for God, even murder if I believed it was right.

How could it not be right if it is done with love?

I have no remose for doing what was right to me.

I have no guilt in me.



[Singing:]

Whoa...

Whoa...

Whoa...

Whoa...
