Frauline - lyrics and music by Meg Baier

Em – D – (C)

Frauline, frauline
Shadow is still, sunlight behind
Frauline, Frauline,
Shape sunken face, no space in your outline

And I’m jealous of your main frame
I’m jealous of your strong veins
I’m jealous of the freight train headed toward your bed

Frauline, Frauline
Boys dream dazed and dangled in dark time
Frauline, Frauline
Wish the legs you longed for were mine

I’m jealous like a big ring, oh you call me up tell me everything
Oh and I’m jealous like a mean thing wished upon your head
I’m jealous of your tiny waist
Oh your tiny shoes tiny band-aids
Oh I’m jealous cause I’m not chaste
But I am cause your little heart is pounding for the man that I want to rip apart

This paper doesn’t like my pen, I’m gonna rip apart I’m gonna rip it apart
Don’t do it all over again or I’ll rip apart, I’m gonna rip apart

Frauline, Frauline
Do you believe in your outline
Frauline, Frauline
Do you understand the power of your kind
