Fiona Apple
Fast As You Can
From - When the Pawn
I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live
Without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
Oh, darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby, run free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow
Hungry for a fight
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame
The phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man

So if you catch me trying
To find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
Fast as you can, baby, scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place
Where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl
If you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs

Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of why's, choking on why's
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind
Complain and blame the sterile land

But if you're getting any bright ideas
Quiet, dear, I'm blooming within
Fast as you can, baby, wait watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing run its route
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
