Sylvia Plath Songtext
von Ryan Adams

I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
Busted tooth and a smile
And cigarette ashes in her drink

The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a week
The kind that goes out on her own
To give me a reason, for well, I dunno

And maybe she′d take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill

She′d ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get me pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath


And she and I would sleep on a boat
And swim in the sea without clothes
With rain falling fast on the sea
While she was swimming away, she′d be winking at me

Telling me it would all be okay
Out on the horizon and fading away
And I′d swim to the boat and I'd laugh
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath

And maybe she′d take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She′d ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get me pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she′d give me a bath

How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
