i'm breaking my mother's heart
the longer i stand looking at you
the more i hear it splinter and crack
from 90 miles away
i'm breaking my mother's heart
the jcc of spring valley is shaking and crumbling to the ground
and my grandfather's rolling, rolling in his grave
if you had a tattoo, that wouldn't matter
if you had a shaved head, that'd be cool
if you came from spain or japan or the back of the van
just as long as you're not from hebrew school
i'd say now i'm getting somewhere
i'm finally breaking through
i'd say hey, hey, shiksa goddess
i've been waiting for someone like you
i've been waiting through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss
and the Handelman twins
ive been waiting through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Minkus, Karen Pinkus, and Lisa Katz
and Stacey Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silber and Janie Stein
Ive had Shabbas dinners on friday nights
with every Shapiro in Washington Heights
but the minute I first met you
I could barely catch my breath
I've been standing for days with the phone in my hand
like and idiot, scared to death
ive been wandering through the desert
ive been beaten, i've been hit
my people have suffered for thousands of years
and i don't give a shit!
if you had a pierced tongue, that wouldnt matter
if you once were in jail, or you once were a man
if your mother and your brother had relations with each other
and your father was connected to the gotti clan
i'd say well, ya know, nobody's perfect
it's tragic but its true
i'd say hey, hey, shiksa goddess
i've been waiting for someone like you
breaking the circle
you, breaking the line
you, you are the story i should i write
i have to write
if you drove an rv, that wouldn't matter
if you like to drink blood, i think it's cute
if you have a powerful connection to your firearm collection i'd say
draw a bead and shoot
i'm your hebrew slave, at your service
just tell me what to do
i'd say hey, hey, hey, hey
i've been waiting for someone
i've been praying for someone
i think that i could be in love with someone
like you
