"Savior (Piano Version)" lyrics - ST. VINCENT

You dress me up in a nurse's outfit
It rides and sticks to my thighs and my hips
You put me in a teacher's little denim skirt
Ruler and desk so I can make it hurt

But I keep you on your best behavior
Honey, I can't be your savior
Love you to the grave and farther
Honey, I can't be your martyr

You dress me in a nun's black habit, huh
Hail Mary pass, 'cause you know I'll grab it
Hand me a badge and a little billy club
Like I'm supposed to book you on a hit-and-run

Adore you to the grave and farther
Honey, I can't be your martyr
Maybe it's just human nature
But honey, I can't be your savior

But then you say "Please"
"Please"

Dress me in leather
That's a little better
But that's still not it
None of this shit fits

But I keep you on your best behavior
Honey, I can't be your savior
Love you to the grave and farther
Honey, I am not your martyr

But then you say "Please"
"Please"
"Please"
"Please"

"Please"
"Please"
"Please"
"Please"

"Please"
"Please"

You call me a strange girl (yeah)
And you speak to me in bruises (yeah)
I got 'em trying to save the world
You said "Girl, you're not Jesus"
