Merrill Garbus - Slash/Burn lyrics

A little slash, a little burn A little never to return And then, and then I break the back of the old days I wake from sleep to watch you stay Look at my posture, how I sway But I am an arrow to you, babe In my youth I grew used to the truth didn't I That they moved like they could lose a love like mine In my youth I grew used to the truth didn't I That they moved like they could lose a love like mine And then, and then I've spent my life saving, by design Do you figure you could use A love like mine A little slash, a little burn A little never to return I break the back of the old days I wake from sleep to watch you stay Look at my posture, how I sway But I am an arrow to you, babe Look at my posture, how I sway But I am an arrow to you, babe
