about

Sissy knows nothing. Nothing knows her.

lyrics

Let me turn my brain off now
I’ve forgotten the spirit of my lines
And let me play on an earthen stage
Before you make an agent of your mind

I’ve tried your sordid method ways
I have conquered the theater with your tears
And damn these petty moral plays
Trading feelings for educated fears

And oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling
I must go your curtain shows me
Oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling
I know nothing and nothing knows me

Let me show my natural age
Let me wipe off these hog bones from my face
And let me play on an earthen stage
My direction is free of time and space

You’ve given notes, you’ve given cues
Exorcised quite a big star out of me
But I’m giving up on giving you
Being wanted when I all I wants to be

And oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling
I must go your curtain shows me
Oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling
I know nothing and nothing knows me

So my love I’m thinking of
The lights from the only tech above
You can go put on your show
But I’m keeping this, my Greek chorus

I know nothing
I know nothing
Nothing knows me
Nothing knows me
