Fiona Apple — Every Single Night

[Verse 1] Every single night, I endure the flight Of little wings of white-flamed butterflies in my brain These ideas of mine percolate the mind Trickle down the spine, swarm the belly, swellin' to a blaze [Pre-Chorus] That's where the pain comes in like a second skeleton Tryin' to fit beneath the skin, I can't fit the feelings in, oh [Chorus] Every single night's alight with my brain, brain [Verse 2] I say to her, why'd I say it to her? What does she think of me? That I'm not what I ought to be That I'm what I try not to be, it's got to be somebody else's fault I can't get caught [Pre-Chorus] If what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does Then brother get back, 'cause my breast's gonna bust open The rib is the shell, and a heart is the yolk And I just made a meal for us both to choke on [Chorus] Every single night's a fight with my brain, brain [Refrain] I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything [Verse 3] So now I'm gonna try to be still now Gonna renounce the mill a little while And if we had a double-king-sized bed We could move in it, and I'd soon forget [Pre-Chorus] That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does And maybe I'd relax, let my breast just bust open My heart's made of parts of all that surround me And that's why the devil just can't get around me [Chorus] Every single night's alright, every single night's a fight And every single fight's alright with my brain, brain [Refrain] I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything I just wanna feel everything
