Missie How You Let Me Down

Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races

One more night of running my mind over lost embraces

The steps you made when you walked away

Still frozen in the ground

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall

Your food's still sitting there at the table where you

used to be

The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me

Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

For far too long you kept me waiting

Reaching out into empty air

Even now you'd never say it face to face

That you really don't care

And if you never liked pulling teeth

Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair

Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did

I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw

down the lid

Or maybe I should just take a match

And burn the whole thing to the ground

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall
