St. Vincent (Annie Clark)

I was 15.

I'd never been anywhere except maybe, I think, to New Mexico on a vacation and maybe Cancun or something.

They took me to Japan.

Oh, wow.

And I saw the world.

I mean, music has given me my whole life.

And yeah, it was hard work, but it's worth it because every night you get to

Spend 90 minutes with people and go someplace completely out of this world.

And I saw them move people's hearts and they moved my heart, of course, but move people to tears every night and really give people a place to lay their burden down.

And it matters.

And it's so beautiful.

And so, yeah, of course, you're tired and you're jet lagged and you're whatever.

But the second for me, the second it's showtime, it's like, let's go.

I would say that's a song about toying with the precipice.

You know, I would say that's definitely, I was quite bereft writing that song.

And it's about kind of just going right up to that edge and looking over and going, huh, what if?

Sometimes I stand with a pistol in hand I fire at the grass just to scare you right back And when you won't run, I'm mad But I succumb, let it happen

Sometimes I go to the edge of my room.

I think I'll jump just to punish you.

And if I should float on the taxis below, no one will notice.
