You look like a perfect fit
For a girl in need of a tourniquet

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

'Cause I can tell
You know what it's like
The long farewell
Of the hunger strike

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

You struck me down like radium
Like Peter Pan or Superman

You will come to save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
But the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

Come on and save me
Why don't you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks who could never love anyone

    Do you guys think she's talking about a junkie when she says tourniquette? Those are what you tie around your arm when you shoot up. Well, I don't because because they are also used to temporarily stop you from bleeding (Figuratively in this case).Anyway, I think the sorta lame Superman and Peter Pan references hurt this otherwise pretty cool song a little. Does anyone ever look at these Aimee Mann lyrics? Helloooooo...
