Ashtray Heart – Captain Beefheart – letras

You used me like an ashtray heartCase of the punksRight from the startI feel like a glass shrimp in a pink pantyWith a saccharine chaperoneMake invalids out of supermenCall in a « shrink »And pick you up in a girdleYou used me like an ashtray heartRight from the startCase of the punksAnother day, another waySomebody’s had too much to thinkOpen up another case of the punksEach pillow is touted like a rockThe mother / father figureSomebody’s had too much to thinkSend your mother home your navelCase of the punksNew hearts to the dining roomsViolet heart cakeDissolve in new cards, boards, throats, underwearAshtray heartYou picked me out, brushed me offCrushed me while I was burning outThen you picked me outLike an ashtray heartHid behind the curtainWaited for me to go outA man on a porcupine fenceUsed me for an ashtray heartHit me where the lover hangs outStood behind the curtainWhile they crushed me outYou used me for an ashtray heartYou looked in the window when I went outYou used me like an ashtray heart.
