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 had a shaved head that would 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'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 have been waiting through Danica Schwartz and Erica Weiss and the Handleman twins
I've been waiting through Heather Greenblatt, Annie Mincus, Karen Pincus and Lisa Katz
and Stacie Rosen, EllenKaplan, Julie Silver and Janie Stein
I've had Shabbas dinners on Friday night's
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 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 we're in jail or you once we're 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 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
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 had 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 shiksa goddess I've been waiting for someone
I've been praying for someone
I think that I could be in love with someone
like you
