Patron Saint by Regina Spektor

Another one of my absolute favorite from Regina. Thank you Regina for being so original. Wish you all the best!
Lyrics:

She's the kind of girl who'll smash herself down in the night
She's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind till it's light
She'll break her own heart and you know she'll break your heart too
So darling, let go of her hand

She's been skipping days, spilling her drinks in the sink
and you know, she's never coming home--never coming home again
but when when when she open her eyes eyes eyes
beyond the chipping paint through the windowpane

lies lies lies
her patron saint, broken and lame
and absolutely insane for learning that true love exists
so darling, let go of her hand(x7)
you'll be to blame for playing this game
and learning that true love exists

She's the kind of girl who'll smash herself down in the night
She's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind till it's light
She'll break her own heart and you know she'll break your heart too
So darling, let go of her hand(x2)

you'll be to blame for playing this game
and learning that true love exists
broken and lame
and learning that true love exist

this 'shit is musical genius. abviously you are mute to that genius and need your hearing and intellect checked.

to be honest i think its better that most her songs aren't on albums, because the live versions are so real.. to me i don't even think about them being live unless there's a video. otherwise they're just great great songs

[bookqueen520]

this song reminds me of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

@ogum536 Hey, there's sheet music available. It's in a Yahoo Groups group called "Regispek" (go to the Yahoo groups site and search for it). You have to become a member, but to do that you just sign in with a Yahoo ID, Facebook account or Google acount and hit join. It's under "files" then "other songs". :)

[Lilyfloss]

whooooo this is just great . I love the DING DING DING DING DING DING DINGY-DINGY parts :D

[ogum536]

i want the sheet music SO badly.. but I don't think it exists and lack the talent to make one myself. If anyone would be dear enough to do a sheet music to this song... please contact me! I know it is random, but if anyone could transcribe this song I can even draw something for you in exchange! If you're interested please contact me; you can see my art here:
