Luis Resto - Effigy lyrics

[Verse 1] Scissors slice the scene in two Leaving me with one hand by my side A pile so high I guess we're through Can't imagine why you would break your stride At torching everything that vaguely might remind Of the crown of thorns you wore with me You've long since left behind [Chorus] Don't burn my effigy The doll that's hanging with a face Made up like mine Don't burn my effigy The one marked 'enemy' Two black holes for eyes that are blind Don't burn my effigy Remember Dorothy And the tinman with his heart of gold Don't burn my effigy Please find a heart for me Let me bring back to you, the love I stole [Verse 2] Thought I'd call to hear, what's new You only said "goodbye", but you sounded swell Just dropped by to see How you've been getting along without my hell Must be going fine You're looking so serene Hits me like a brick, got a nervous tick Here's one last primal scream [Chorus] [Verse 3] It's a long shot I know you think that it's impossible And you'd be better off alone That's why I've joined one hundred congregations Of all denominations bound to be one That's right for me Will change me, rearrange my head To be just right for you and me Don't laugh, please listen Don't laugh, please listen [Chorus]
