Lourah: Music

Vacuous MInd

(Leah Brooke Conway-Corso)
November 16, 2009
Written and Performed by Leah Brooke Conway-Corso
This song is a hex on those guys who have made me feel bad for not being interested - I'm nice to everyone, it doesn't mean I want you!
(as performed live)

Carry me over your shoulder but don't
forget to remember our deal
when it's my stop don't you tighten your fingers
cause boy I'll be gettin off here

Smile and laugh at my jokes if you please
but please do not reach for my hand
quaint conversation with me does not lead
to anything other than that

Diverge vacuous mind
cut me loose, recast the line
see the scorn beneath my smile
it's too damn kind

I don't know what game it is that you're playing
but know that I'm not playing back
you followed me here and asked how my day was
my answer was matter of fact

Diverge vacuous mind
cut me loose, recast the line
see the scorn beneath my smile
swallow your pride

Ferry me far as you're goin but don't
pretend like without you I'm lost
I never asked you to do me no favors
you offered and then named your cost

Oh no more indecent disarray
no no no more wanton crave
oh----------

Carry me over your shoulder but don't
forget to remember our deal
when it's my stop don't you tighten your fingers
cause boy I'll be getting off here
oh boy I'll be gettin off here

Diverge vacuous mind
cut me loose, recast the line
see the scorn beneath my smile
wreathe and mourn in your denial
scream and shout I'll pay no mind
accept defeat, it's your demise
flee and deprive

carry me over your shoulder but don't
correct me or tell me I'm wrong
you're not my friend, I don't want your opinion
stark empty and far overdrawn

far overdrawn
