Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

God Is a Number

I'm onto you

Before the night is through

I'm going to steal this diamond

Hot rock to you

How am I to know what you want me to feel?

Counterfeit or real

I'm not the one you wanted

Not the thing you keep

It's a caper theme, there's a getaway car

A diamond to steal, a plan that might go wrong

If this is a set up, please let me know

I can't risk my life for a guilded stone

I thought all along this was everything

Try not to look too hard to find that it's not real

I knew all along you weren't everything

Then in the darkest hour I watched you disappear

It's a crafty scene, full of power and greed

You tell me not to steal, yet you still want a thief

You write out the plans, I carry out the act

But then I lose it all if I can't bring it back

How was I to know this rock was so fragile?

It cracked in my hands while I was holding on

An uncut stone is flawed and beautiful

Don't try to size me down to fit your tiny hands

It's not real

You don't need to tell me

That it's not real

I'm onto you

Before the night is through

I'm going to steal my heart back

And find a love that's true

Hot rock to you
