"Carrion" lyrics - FIONA APPLE

Won't do no good to hold no seance
What's gone is gone, and you can't bring it back around!
Won't do no good to hold no searchlight
You can't illuminate what time has anchored down

[Pre-Chorus:]
Honey, I've gone away
Hey, I've gone away
I've gone away

Won't do no good to sing no love song
No sound could simulate the presence of a man
Won't do no good asking no questions
Your divination should acquaint you with the plan

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, honey, I've gone away
Honey, I've gone away
Honey, I've gone away

[Chorus:]
My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion of a murdered prey
And all I want
Is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk
Away

Won't do no good to go no distance
The space between us is as boundless as the dark
Won't do no good to throw no fist, babe
You can't intimidate me back into your arms

[Pre-Chorus:]
Because, honey, I've gone away
I've gone away
I've gone away

I've gone away
I've gone away
I've gone... away

[Chorus:]
My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion of a murdered prey

And all I want
Is to save you, honey
Or the strength to walk away! My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion of a...
A murdered prey

And all I want is to...
Save you, honey, or the strength
To walk
Away!

Ohhh!
My feel for you, boy
Is decaying right in front of me
Like the carrion of a...
A murdered prey

And all I want is to
Save you, honey
Or the strength
To walk away!
