My level best attempt at a prequel to Fiona Apple's "Criminal" (Hot 100 November 29th 1997).

lyrics

I’m in trouble
Anyone can see
The mockingbird that you’ve made of me
Stuck on my own repeat

I never could resist
Someone to save
Do I know broken
From misbehaving
Or digging a shallow grave

You loosen my screws
Bruises blooming
Kept underneath
I don’t know the use
No one can give you anything
That you don’t want
No matter if you need

I’ve been stricken
With a sickening blindness
Don’t sight a wicked deed
From cruel kindness
What we believe defines us

You loosen my screws
Bruises blooming
Kept underneath
Ooh I don’t know the use
No one can give you anything
That you don’t want
No matter if you need
To open me up
And see what makes me tick
Should have seen it coming
I fell in love with your tricks

Someday you’re gonna get what you ask for
Someday you’re gonna break under your own
Certainty that there’s nothing more to be
Than a robber on the run without a friend or a home

You loosen my screws
Exploding apart at car crash speed
Ooh I don’t know the use
No one can give you anything
That you don’t want
No matter if you need
