Fast As You Can Lyrics - When The Pawn Hits - Fiona Apple

I let the beast in too soon, 

I don't know how to live 

Without my hand on his throat; 

I fight him always and still 

Oh darling, it's so sweet, 

You think you know how crazy, 

How crazy I am 

You say you don't spook easy, 

You won't go, but I know 

And I pray that you will 

Fast as you can, baby run 

Free yourself of me 

Fast as you can 

I may be soft in your palm 

But I'll soon grow 

Hungry for a fight, 

And I will not let you win 

My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will 

Disprove your faith in man 

So if you catch me trying to find my way into your 

Heart from under your skin 

Fast as you can, 

Baby scratch me out, 

Free yourself 

Fast as you can 

Fast as you can, 

Baby scratch me out, 

Free yourself 

Fast as you can 

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift 

But most of the time, it does 

And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift 

Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was 

And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift 

And you give me some more of your drugs 

Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift 

'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys, 

Just need a little because, 

Because... 

I let the beast in and then; 

I even tried forgiving him, 

But it's too soon 

So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again. 

And for a little while more, 

I'll soar the uneven wind, 

Complain and blame the sterile land 

But if you're getting any bright ideas, 

Quiet dear 

I'm blooming within 

Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out 

Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about 

Fast as you can leave me, let this thing 

Run its route 

Fast as you can (repeat 4 times)
