Lletres: Holly Cole. Onion Girl.

:
I'm a bit unstable, she said

With a Cheshire grin

So many cracks in my sidewalk, boy

Don't you fall in.



Feels like the things that I've wanted

The most in this life

I can't have

So you see I've been damning the world

Before it damns me



She said I'm naked and shameless

And I'm peeling back the layers

Like an onion girl



Don't try to save me

Just stay away

'Cause I might make you cry

Like an onion girl

Like an onion girl



Second grade playground

I still haven't the nerve

Fear is under my skin

Like St. Anthony's fire

And I can't stand the burn

Yeah



So let's break a little bread, have a little laugh

I haven't laughed for a while

'Cause it's a long road back, yes

From the womb tonight



I'm naked, shameless

And peeling back the layers

Like an onion girl



Don't try to save me

Just stay away

'Cause I might make you cry, yes

Like an onion girl

Like an onion girl



She said I'm naked, shameless

And I'm peeling back the layers

Like an onion girl



Don't try to save me

Just stay away

'Cause I might make you cry

Like an onion girl



She said I'm naked and shameless

And peeling back the layers

Like, like an onion girl



Don't try to save me

Just stay away

'Cause I might make you cry

Like an onion girl

Like an onion girl, yeah

Like an onion girl
