TURN TO BLACK - Lisa Marie Presley (slight lyric mods by Yours Truly)

Tell me tell me did you think you'd catch me
Did you think that if you watched me
I'd be just like the rest of them
Did you think that you could mold me scold me
Did you think that you could own me
Did you think that you could put a saddle on me
Show me ride me cloud me warn me you could control me
Tell me did you think I'd fit you like a bonnet with a little flower on it
Or a tear inside your sonnet

So much unspoken it will never be heard by you

Can you take it back
Can you make it go away
Wish I never knew this
I did everything you said
It all just turned to black
And I can't do this

Did you like the voodoo that I put upon you
When I slithered in my closet, sweat vengeance like a faucet
Was I the second monkey flunky who turned out to disappoint you honey
Did you do it on your own because I couldn’t turn you on
Yeah you did
Did I get tired of your shit and then did I give you the slip?
Yeah, I did

Are my unheard objections invalid to you?

Can you take it back?
Can you make it go away?
Wish I never knew this
I did everything you said
It all just turned to black
And I can't do this

I'll stay on the freeway of the damned souls now
Wish I never knew this
The legacy you gave me well it was too overrated
I can't do this
