she once upset every earthquake from here to l.a.
high above the ocean when you'll surface for breath
but she can't swim
she can break and she can bend
and we never saw her again
'cause she fucked with nature
she comes in dreams
she can terrorize the infrastructure
sewing the seams
like some dearly departed miracle worker
very good
excellent
she once had a boy who loved her in every way
he told his friends he scored and she beat him to death
she said, don't trust a worthless stranger
unashamed of what he's done
i'll learn the secret handshake
when all the decoding's done
he couldn't live in the tired shape he's in
and he never loved again
he came back to haunt her
now he comes in dreams
he can terrorize and spook and torture
apart at the seams
like some dearly departed miracle worker
