20 Years in the Dakota (Live at Hollywood Bowl, October 27, 2001) Lyrics by Courtney Love

America’s Bastard

0

[Intro]
She spent twenty years in the Dakota
Every single day was black in the Dakota
[Verse 1]
Riot grrrls think you can stop
But you're forever in her debt
Well, I know you haven't sank me
And you haven't sank her yet
[Verse 2]
She spent twenty years like a virus
They want to burn the bitches inside us
Aw, man, you don't fuck with the Fabulous Four
Or you spend the rest of your life picking things up off the floor
[Interlude 1]
She's still alive, but I am sure
That all the stars belong to her
Oh, California King-sized bed
She's wrapped in rags inside my head
Hey, ah
Hey, ah
[Bridge]
This is the story, this is the story of someone's wife
She let Big Black rule her whole life
[Interlude 2]
Oh baby, dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like suicide
Hey, ah
Hey, ah
[Interlude 3]
Remember to let her under your skin
And then you'll begin to make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
And then you'll begin to make it better
[Interlude 4]
Oh baby, dry your dirty eyes
My water breaks like turpentine
Oh, California King-sized bed
She's wrapped in rags inside my head
Hey Jude, hey Jude
Are you coming for me?
Judy, Judy, are you coming soon?
[Interlude 5]
The pee girl yearns to be a bride
Your ever-lovely suicide
Hey, ah
Hey, ah
[Interlude 6]
Are you coming for me?
Judy, Judy, are you coming soon?
And Remember to let him under your skin
And then you'll begin to make him better
Remember to let him under your skin
And then you'll begin to make it better
[Outro]
This is the story, this is the story of someone's wife
She lived right up there, four years of her life
Oh, California King-sized bed
She's wrapped in rags inside my head
Hey Jude, hey Jude
Are you coming for me?
Judy, Judy, are you coming-
I don't remember, I forget
Oh, God, I haven't seen you yet
I don't remember I forget
Hey ah
