"Bliss" lyrics - KRISTIN HERSH

Warm on your cold heart
Cool on your hot head
A worn blanket statement of innocence
A way out
A way to keep lying honest
If restless and frantic

And you, a breaking man
I've studied your shaking hands
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail

Hot coffee's melting this plastic cup
And cold, I can't dial this tiny phone
To find you
And no, you don't seem pathetic
Just restless, frenetic

And you, a breaking man
I've studied your shaking hands
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail

And you, a little kid
In a choke-hold of bliss
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail
