Shiksa Goddess

I'm breaking my mother's heart. The longer I stand looking at you, the more I hear it splinter and crack, from ninety miles away...
I'm breaking my mother's heart. The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking and crumbling to the ground, and my grandfather is 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 a van, just as long as you're not from Hebrew school. I say, "Now I'm getting somewhere. I'm finally breaking free..." I say, "Hey, hey, shiksa goddess, I've been waiting for someone like you."
I've been wading through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss and the Handelmann twins. I've been wading through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Minkus, Karen Pinkus, and Lisa Katz. And Stacy Rosen, Ellen Kaplan, Julie Silver, and Janie Stein! I've 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 a phone in my hand like an idiot scared to death. I've been wandering through the desert. I've 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 wouldn't 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 had connections to the Gaudi clan, I'd say, "Well, yeah, nobody's perfect." It's tragic but it's true. I'd say, "Hey, hey, shiksa goddess, I've been waiting for someone like you."

Breaking the circle... You... taking the light... You... you are the story I should write... I have to write.

If you drove an RV, that wouldn't matter. If you liked to drink blood, I'd think it's cute. If you got 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...!"

*Sorry if I got anything wrong.

the hills are alive with the sound of mu, ooh shiny, love
