Jesca Hoop - Death Row Lyrics

Narrowly, I escaped inevitable utter
And total ruin, though not left unscathed
My name and face kept intact by benevolent cowardice
We wore our Sunday best encircled your chrysalis
But you slept through the crisis

You will take a breath, you'll take your very first breath
You'll take a breath, once you've inhaled water
May you have a good death, a very good death

As the dust's settling, I'm tip-toeing my way
Back to controlled environs the smug and relief
When a voice stops me in my tracks
And laughter bounds from the wreckage
We came out Easter dressed
now how could you second guess
A well-timed metamorphosis

You will learn to laugh, you'll get a belly-aching laugh
You'll learn to laugh once you've finished crying
May you have a good death, a very good death

Throw the baby out with the bath
Stones in a house of glass, lean into the cracks
And let the sky fall in

All I would die for replaced by virtual, immaculate imitation
My tryptophan teeth
And comatose lips firmly latched 'round the teat of a comfort
Whore, we waited all night long for you at rock bottom
Consoling your swan song

You will get a kiss, you'll get your very first kiss
You'll get a kiss once you've endured falling
May you have a good death, a very good death

Throw the baby out with the bath
Stones in a house of glass, lean into the cracks
Stones in a house of glass, lean into the cracks
Stones in a house of glass, lean into the cracks
Stones in a house of glass, lean into the cracks
And let the sky fall in
