Kryptonite Girl

from Carnivore by Idiot Magnet

/

lyrics

She was sixteen and on the road to Jesus.
I was twenty-two with a view to making her mine.
She was underage, but I'm an underachiever.
All things considered, I was just a way of passing her time.

I can only see you, I cannot reach you.
The mere thought of more makes the mountains shake.
I can only hear you on my radio.
This failure of the flesh is you keeping me awake.

She was sixteen and she'd set course for heaven.
I was tied down, trying to stop the end of the world.
Couldn't keep my mind out of the blood coloured mouth
Or from the night sky eyes of the kryptonite girl.

Tear down the sky with my bare hands.
This is my ransom. No reward, no demands.

She was sixteen and more a saint than a virgin.
I was overdue for a clue to her impossible test.
She had to go but she left me her favourite philosphy.
Five simple words: "Life is short. Play Tetris."

Tear down the sky.
