Regina Spektor Pound Of Flesh Lyrics

If you're never sorry
Then you can't be forgiven
If you're not forgiven
Then you can't be forgotten
If you're not forgotten
Then you can live forever
If you live forever
Then you'll begin to dream

Of death (x5)

Ezra Pound sat upon my bed
Asked me which books of late I've read (x2)

Asked me if I've, uh, read his own
And whether I could spare a pound
Of lesh To cover his bare bones
I said man, "Take a pound, take two.
What's a pound of flesh between friends like me
and you?"

What's a pound of flesh among friends?
What's a pound of flesh among friends?

If you're never sorry
If you're never sorry

If you're never sorry
Then you can't be forgiven
If you're not forgiven
Then you can't be forgotten If you're not forgotten
Then you can live forever
If you live forever
You cannot be reborn
If you're not reborn
Then you can't be a baby
If you're not a baby
You can't learn how to crawl
If you can not crawl away
Then you must stay in bed all day
If you stay in bed all day
You're sure to have some bli-isters

Ezra Pounds sat on your bed
Asked you which books of late you've read
Asked you if you've, uh, read his own
And whether you could spare a pounnd
Of flesh to cover his bare bones
You'll say man, "take a pound, take two.
What's a pound of flesh between friends like me
and you?"

What's a pound of flesh among friends?
What's a pound of flesh among friends?
What's a pound of flesh among friends?
