Lyrics
Pentagram
Words and music by
Nenah Barkley
Verse 1
Put some ashes, in a pentagram
Hoping it was your heart that held my hand
It could never burn you, like I burn for your selfish land
I so wanted you to be my man
Chorus
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me?
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me
Verse 2
My Export A's taste like candle wax
Is it 'cause I cursed you a 1000 deaths
I can still remember everything and how it felt
Maybe I recall it better then it really was
Chorus
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me
Verse 3
The years go by, and you've got yourself a family
I'm getting old with my fantasy
I live by the water but I hunger for your reign
and your power, and the songs that you gave
But I'm just another one of your forgotten conquests
looking for relief, Baby I'm on your back steps.
Chorus
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me
Cause you never did see,
what could have become baby, of you and me
