here’s the lyrics to my new song Rape Game, i actually wrote several versions of it some time ago, but have revisited it lately, and have decided i do like it. for a while i was really not sure, but i do, it just needs to be produced with a full band- very pop song. i think this may be circuitously inspired by Mulholland Drive. my favorite line by far is “you laid awake and thought about horses”. as i think of this song and its possible place on my next studio album, i wonder how it will sit with songs like Glass and What? hmm….
I can guess why you'd wanna come 'cause where you're from people always told you how you shine innocent and pure a face like that ought to be in pictures So you were standing at the gate could hardly wait You had your parents waiving, water in their eyes as they said a prayer for their very special girl Praying that she stands with a back bone but it's gonna snap like a wish bone When we get our hands on your no-name When you get a break in the rape game Your own place even if it's small with brittle walls cracks in the plaster black specks crawling on your bed sheets you laid awake and thought about horses Or going home but you never will you're here until Jesus comes or the Beatles are forgotten so tell me who you'd do if you had to make a living now Maybe there's a switch in your back bone flip it and it snaps like a wish bone When we get our hands on your no-name When you get a break in the rape game Just a girl who needs a scene and I need to see you kneeling Just a girl who'd love a break and I'd love to see you broken Rape game Every body fought when they first came till they hit it big in the rape game
