Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer

Once my lover, now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend

Oh, you creep up like the clouds
and you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
and you bring me to my knees

Oh, it's evil, babe -- the way you let your grace
enrapture me
when well you know I'd be insane to ever let that
dirty game recapture me


You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I've been swinging all around me
cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move

Oh, your gaze is dangerous
and you fill you space so sweet
If I let you get too close
you'll set your spell on me

So darlin' I just wanna say --
just in case I don't come through --
I was on to every play
I just wanted you

But oh, it's so evil, my love -- the way you've no
reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love
to save the pain of once my flame and twice my burn



Como a Fiona consegue ser tão fudidamente intensa, e traduzir tudo que eu sinto, eu não sei. ela é tão linda, tão charmosa, tem uma voz tão profunda, toca piano tão bem, escreve tão lindamente, e tem gente que ainda compra cd da Britney Spears, dificil de conceber.
