St. Vincent Cruel Lyrics

CRUEL - ST VINCENT
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
(Verse 1)
Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
Run the alleys casually cruel
Cruel, cruel
riff w/ fuzz and some kind of high pass filter

D--6-8---8-6-------6-8---8-6-----6-8-6----------------I
A------------9---------------9-----------6--6---------I
E-----------------------------------------------------I x2
(Verse 2)
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
For you could want that, too
They could take or leave you
So they took you, and they left you
How could they be casually cruel?
The synth/marimba plays this bit

(Bridge)
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
If you could want that, too, then you'll be happy
(Verse 3)
You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
And they were as laughter, blowing past ya, blowing fastly so they can see
Ya
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh
