SAMSON
by Regina Spektor

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first
i loved you first
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
i have to go, i have to go
your hair was long when we first met

samson went back to bed
not a hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
and history books forgot about us
and the Bible didn't mention us
and the Bible didn't mention us
not even once

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first
i loved you first
beneath the stars that kept on falling on our heads
but they just don't like
but they just don't like
your hair was long when we first met

samson came to my bed
told me that my hair was red
told me i was beautiful
and came into my bed
oh, i cut his hair myself one night
a pair of doll scissors on a yellow light
and told me that i'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the morning light
'til the morning light
'til the morning light
kissed me 'til the morning light

samson went back to bed
not a hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
oh we couldn't bring the columns downs
we couldn't destroy a single one
and history books forgot about us
and the Bible didn't mention us
and the Bible didn't mention us
not even once

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first
i loved you first
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
i have to go, i have to go
your hair was long when we first met

officially, i loved regina spektor because of this song. haha
unique vocals and cool piano playing if you ask me. not to mention witty lyrics and uncanny melody that gets stuck with you as she tells a story. every song is a short story. believe me.
she gets one to drink vodka while listening to her music hehe
