Tanya Donelly - Vanilla lyrics

( Pretty Deep 7" )

She strolled into my backyard

Drinking wine from a dixie cup

Like you would

Showed her past my playing cards

Laid it down and I pick it up to see

What am i made of

What am I made of

Water, guts, and blood

And she looks just like my mother

When my mother was a swinger

And she laughs just like a young John Wayne

And she'd smell just like vanilla

If vanilla weren't so sweet

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh

And I think I'm falling with her

And that's what I'm made of

Oh so now that I'm in love

Sinking in your bathtub

And I know I'm not coming up

Flashing in your snagteeth

A vision of my day with you

What am i made of

What am I made of

Water, guts, and blood

And she looks just like my mother

When my mother was a swinger

And she laughs just like a young John Wayne

And she'd smell just like vanilla

If vanilla weren't so sweet

'Cause she's salt and starch and everything harsh

And I think I'm falling with her

And that's what I'm made of

Oh so now that I'm in love

There's a reason why you live

There's a reason why you live
