lyrics

I am an object to be acted upon
I learned this the night we passed out on the lawn
You said you loved me in the cold light of dawn
I am an object to be acted upon

I lost my soul in Georgia on a midnight train
To a boy who told riddles and would never speak plain
He tried to make his mark, but he left only a stain
I lost my soul in Georgia on a midnight train

All I have left is a handle of Jack and some cigarettes
All I need is a jagged edge and someplace to bleed
A death that’s quiet, peaceful and discreet
That’s good enough for a girl like me

I lost my heart in Portland to Lili Marlene
She refused my offer, but accepted the blame
Ever since that night, I’ve felt nothing but shame
I lost my heart in Portland to Lili Marlene

I lost my will to live in the back of a car

...
I lost my will to live in the back of a car

And all I have left is a handle of Jack and some cigarettes
All I need is a jagged edge and someplace to bleed
A death that’s quiet, peaceful and discreet
That’s all that’s left for a girl like me

I am an object to be acted upon
I learned this the night we passed out on the lawn
You said you loved me in the cold light of dawn
But I am not a person -- just an object to be acted upon
