Anaïs Mitchell

I've worn out all of your records

I've torn out page after page

I have lain with the shadows you threw

When you danced with the bright

Colored lights of the stage


Hey, and aren't you grateful?

Saying ain't you got fun [unverified]

Being so good at what you do

Doing it right in front of everyone


Everybody knows you, I wanna know you

How you roll like the rolling waters

You rise like the bright morning stars

You go fast like the freight train going so fast


And I don't even know who you are

But I would not disappoint you

If you let me kiss your mouth

If you let me get to the bottom of you

If you let me find you out


Everybody knows you

Nobody knows you

Everybody knows you

I wanna know you


Oh, but I, in the name of my namesake

I'm a beautiful fly on the wall

Of your four chambered heartbreak

A spy in the house of your love
