lyrics

A Woman Named Vengeance

What were you like in your formative years?
Did you have any toys did you have any tears?
Did your mother conceive you in horror or heat?
Did you suck at the bosom of truth or deceit?

Did you torture your dolls
Did you cuddle your pets?
Was your childhood sunshine or only regrets?
If I looked in your closet, tell me what will I see?
A chest full of bones or a tea set for three?

Your life is a riddle,
I don't have a clue
I wish you were simple
But there's nothing I can do to get through to you

A woman named Vengeance
That is your name
A woman named Vengeance
As clear as the shape of my face
A woman named Vengeance
Your mystery remains
A woman named Vengeance
The reasons locked inside
But I won't run and hide
You're all that I've got today

Were you Valedictorian?
Did you go to the prom?
Or spend the night looking for something to bomb?
Did you make your mom proud,
Does your father stand tall?
Should I look for your face on the post office wall?

Did you play make believe
Did you wear your mom's heels?
Rip the legs off of spiders, just to see how it feels?
Were you ever a mother
Were you ever someone's wife?
Should I ask all these questions or maybe think twice?

Your life is a riddle
I don't have a clue
I wish you were simple
But there's nothing I can do to get through to you

A woman named Vengeance
That is your name
A woman named Vengeance
As clear as the shape of my face
A woman named Vengeance
Your mystery remains
A woman named Vengeance
The reasons locked inside
But I won't run and hide
You're all that I've got in bed

A woman named Vengeance
A woman named Vengeance
That's all that I've got
A woman named Vengeance
A woman named Vengeance
A woman named Vengeance
That's all that I've got
A woman named Vengeance
