Sacred Disciple Wannabe - Lyrics - Jarboe

Jarboe is an American singer-songwriter and keyboardist who came to prominence as a member of the New York City-based band Swans in 1985. Having played the organ since childhood and had years of professional vocal training, she, with founder Michael Gira, were the two constant members of Swans until the group broke up in 1998.

You're burnin' me - you're burnin' me You're a sacred disciple wannabe You're playing the fool now you're wearing those clothes You're dressing for him - "How could you do it?" Don't you feel shame for giving in Don't you feel shame - oh well I knew it... Well I knew it was coming - I was ready for it When you jumped ... to his every beck and call Want to get on your feet again Get back up on your feet I was crying for you then Your good heart turning cheap... He's the black in the cave - "His red women are Dracula's brides..." But to call him a vampire will only "romanticize" So let's call him the junkman - the corrupt man Now let's see him for what he really is - Charon who'll take you.. . Across the River Styx Yeah he'll take you to the other side And you won't find your peace Yeah he'll take you to the other side... As he watches you bleed... For your good heart - I was crying For your good heart - I was crying Oh your good heart - turnin' cheap
