Not About Love Lyrics - Extraordinary Machine - Fiona Apple

The early cars 

Already are 

Drawing deep breaths past my door 

And last night's phrases 

Sick with lack of basis 

Are still writhing on my floor 

And it doesn't seem fair 

That your wicked words should work 

In holding me down 

No, it doesn't seem right 

To take information 

Given at close range 

For the gag 

And the bind 

And the ammunition round 

Conversation once colored by esteem 

Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood 

Took a vacation, my palate got clean 

Now I could taste your agenda 

While you're spitting your cud 

And it doesn't make sense 

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown 

No, it doesn't seem right 

To take information 

Given at close range 

For the gag 

And the bind 

And the ammunition round 

This is not about love 

'Cause I am not in love 

In fact I can't stop falling out 

This is not about love 

'Cause I am not in love 

In fact I can't stop falling out 

I miss that stupid ache 

What is this posture 

I have to stare at 

That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight 

Change the name of the game 'cause he lost 

And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late 

But I'm not being fair 

'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth 

But I'd like to choose right 

Take all the things that I've said that he stole 

Put 'em in a sack 

Swing 'em over my shoulder 

Turn on my heels 

Step out of this sight 

Try to live in a lovelier life 

This is not about love 

'Cause I am not in love 

In fact I cant stop falling out 

This is not about love 

'Cause I am not in love 

In fact i cant stop falling out 

I miss that stupid ache
