Bee-sting Necklace Lyrics

Bonaduces Bee-sting Necklace

If I take too long to deal with what's been said, it's
just that I have taken it to conclusions in my head. When
every kid in class has found the guts to ask what they
can do to help you through, I guess I must look pretty
cold: your best friend standing silent, choked by fear.
And if we're back outside and I'm overcome with stress
we're ten feet from a hive, and you're barefoot, in a
sleeveless dress. If you were only wrapped in a flak
jacket and welder's mask I could relax, but that's so
stupid to expect. So,I made this to protect in other
ways. Three pills in a locket around your neck. So: if I
make amends; if I cease to be a rusty-mouthed companion
to this new mortality we're only 12 years old. It's hard
to be so bold about these things. But I'm listening. So
tell me what you need from me and I will boost my bravery
to match your own. Chorus.
