“Told you and the Devil to both just leave me alone.

If this is salvation, I can show you the trembling.

You’ll just have to trust me. I’m scared.”

Beyond the chipping paint of the window pane
Lies, lies, lies
Her patron saint
Broken and lame
And absolutely insane
For learning that true love exists

Regina Spektor - Patron Saint

“More than a movie star, Katharine Hepburn was the patron saint of the independent American female. Spirited, direct, in charge of her own fate, but not above falling head over heels in love, often scandalously. She was well-spoken, well-educated and very disciplined. She played tennis, ran before it was fashionable; for decades, she famously swam every day, often in the frigid ocean, and it showed.”

-Mary Mcnamara for the Los Angeles Times, 2003

Regina Spektor - “Patron Saint”

“She’s the kind of girl who’ll smash herself down in a night
She’s the kind of girl who’ll fracture her mind ‘til it’s light
She’ll break her own heart, and you know
That 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 a night
She’s the kind of girl who’ll fracture her mind ‘til it’s light
She’ll break her own heart, and you know
That 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 know that true love exists
The pain, the pain, the pain
Of knowing that true love exists”
