Grey Matter - Jewel

I hate you, I love you

Leave, please

Don’t go away

Can’t decide if I like your face

Or if I wish

It would stray

You’re a child but

You’re malicious

You’re sweet but

Don’t remember my name

And heads you win

And tails I’m lost

And love equals pain

I am drifting

Without an anchor

Through your ambigous region

A strange continent

Immune to all reason

And I’m flattered by Your grey matter

Inside my skin

I feel your tongue

Telling me I’m dirty

And licking my bones

A surge against silence

A knife across a plate

Makes the sound

Of need on hate

I am drifting

Without an anchor

Through your ambigous region

A strange continent

Immune to all reason

And I’m flattered by Your grey matter

And I do not understand

Why a woman can’t

Just love a man

You’re amusing

You’re a real cool show

With your meat hooks

And barbed wire carnival

You got glitter in your pocket

You got mothballs in your soul

From too many false teeth

And greasy flash bulbs

I am drifting

Without an anchor

Through your ambigous region

A strange continent

Immune to all reason

And I’m flattered by Your grey matter

I love you

I hate you
