After realizing I could not find an operatic singer to execute this song mainly because the lyrics were a bit disturbing, I turned to my inner operatic self and practiced the crap out of it for a month. One of the hardest things I ever had to sing. But there it is. I like the melody.

lyrics

CILLA-SIGH-BEEN_ROOT

Cilla-Sigh-Been-Root
Hugging her vermouth
Spies a cricket in a shadow cricking on her boot
Then like a jaguar, she would leap in the air
And land right down on it's head,
Crushing dead
And it made a crunch like a little bit of lettuce in your teeth
Root felt less incomplete.
In control...
Like a god...
Taking a life simply was the best, considering her
Daddy used to make her get undress each night
And run his milky tongue between her legs
She’d cry...but no one ever heard her make a peep
Inside her teenage room....

(MTV flashback)

This could be the story of a girl who tries to have her father put in jail
Or maybe she'll be threatened, told to shut her mouth if she tells her tale
One never knows till the writer takes us down the route
He or she thinks best for our eyes and ears to explore:
The social right and wrongs in this world lord, if any apply it's kind of hard to tell
What with the deep religious contradictions and fictions of
God...
And truth
