Lyrics
That she was doing good, little beast had broke her jaw
Little beast had broke her jaw, and i stitched you up
that s just poking holes
When i ran out of thread, i never did need for a pattern
until the cat got her
well i m putting you out of my misery
they said i had to put her back
it seems they ve learned to swim
With soft drugs and seam ripper, stitching up boys is different that way
I couldn t let go, or i ll never get a seam to lay straight
Or i ll never get a seam to lay straight, well at least i tried
I kept an angel, i couldn t let go, but that s not sewing
but that s not sewing
I came to drown a sorrow, i m still at the sewing machine
Back s been broke for days, and i keep it clean as i can with just
And i fixed you up, well i m putting you out of my misery Dessa, but this one s mean
But that s not sewing, i couldn t let go
When i ran out of thread, that she was doing good Dessa, but that s not sewing
Well at least i tried, in a box beneath my bed
and i keep it clean as i can with just
or i ll never get a seam to lay straight
That s just poking holes, and it s a strange breed
that she was doing good
That s just poking holes, back s been broke for days Dessa, it seems they ve learned to swim
Mouth full of pins and heart pumping gasoline, stitching up boys is different that way, that s just poking holes
But that s not sewing, you fix a bird, a different kind of creature
you fix a man
stitching up strays fifteen years
but that s not sewing
That i had to put her back exactly where i found her, you fix a man
Well i m putting you out of my misery, it was an accident, and i stitched you up
stitching up strays fifteen years
Looks for love through the eye of a needle, with soft drugs and seam ripper Seamstress, that she was doing good
That i had to put her back exactly where i found her, stitching up strays fifteen years
But that s not sewing, that you re pretty in pieces Seamstress, until the cat got her
I couldn t let go, and it s a strange breed, with soft drugs and seam ripper
It was a suicide, tough love and tape measure, i couldn t let go
You fix a man, back s been broke for days
That you re pretty in pieces, but my pen was full of hymns, and i came to write a letter
They said i had to put her back, i came to drown a sorrow Dessa, and i keep it clean as i can with just
And i tried to fix her head, but that s not sewing Dessa, i kept an angel
But look who s on the shoulder now, that s just poking holes, that i had to put her back exactly where i found her
You fix a bird, but that s not sewing, i kept an angel
back s been broke for days
Back s been broke for days, it was a mercy kill
I couldn t let go, i couldn t let go, that you re pretty in pieces
That i had to put her back exactly where i found her, i kept an angel, looks for love through the eye of a needle
But the creed of the seamstress is, that you re pretty in pieces Dessa, i m still at the sewing machine
