Wine Into Water

How many more of your pretty rhymes
How many more first times
Are you gonna keep jotting down
In the diary still not yet found?
Say, am I the only one you take along
When you’re going to town? 


You can’t stop keeping score
I don’t wanna play no more
For all of your games, hon,
I sure as shit ain’t been having’ no fun 


You rub me the wrong way
You don’t pull it off, babe
I’m taking my toys away
You play way too rough 


Wine into water
Sure got your hands full turning all your tricks
But I’ve been up your sleeve
So crowded up here, we can barely breathe
Now time you’re gone don’t drag
Not since you turned all my riches into rags
And all my wine back into water 


I’m done getting drowned in your silk
I’m done getting dressed in your milk
All you got off your chest was me
But not before getting off yourself ...

Why don't you 'fess up
No, you ain’t froze up
Time for your closeup
And your lipstick is so smeared 


Wine into water
Sure got your hands full taking in the trash
Turning all my wine back into water
By now I know which way your tail’s gonna wag
And how your feral kitty cat’s out of the bag 

You drank my blood like wine

You played the poison ivy to my vine 

Keep blowing those blue hairs, keep picking up cab fare

Upstairs going down, in your off-white wedding gown

Giving birth in reverse, bad karma getting worse

Fuck my toast, I propose a roast

With this here water that ain’t fit to drink

So I been using it for ink



Wine Into Water
Sure got your hands full turning all your tricks
But I’ve been up your sleeve
So crowded up here, we can barely breathe
Now time you’re gone don’t drag
Not since you turned all my riches into rags
And all my wine back into water
