Pretty Little Dead Thing (Lyric) by JAM
Pretty little dead thing
Don't come around here no more
Let the past be as it was
I've already asked you this nicely before
Pretty little dead thing
Why can't you rest in peace
And let me move onward with my life
Please won't you let this madness cease
Times have changed and so have I
Since that dreadful day you were taken from me
I asked myself Why so many times
That the question no longer begged of necessity
And since you've appeared on my front porch
Six nights ago during this sweltering June
I've taken to locking the windows and doors
You just stand there naked under moon
Pretty little dead thing
Your cold lips don't utter a single word
Yet I can sense you want me to take you back
The message in your eyes is what I heard
Pretty little dead thing
It will never be the same as it was before
Though beautiful still despite the scars
I can't bring myself to open the front door
Times have changed and so have you
Your not the girl that occupied my heart of hearts
For she was buried and remains six feet under
While your just stitched together body parts
I'm trying not to be rude, but you have to admit
We are no longer a match, hardly compatible
And the next girl I ask to be my fiancee
Will in the very least have somewhat of a soul
Pretty little dead thing
I don't mean to cause you any more pain
If you had any feelings, that is
And any feeling registering in your brain
Pretty little dead thing
Can't you see that this wasn't meant to be?
I don't know if I can explain it any better
You're just no longer the girl for me
Pretty little dead thing
Such a lively little dead thing
Life can be a deadly thing
For a pretty little dead thing
