[Verse 1]
I come fluttering in from Neverland
Time can never stop me, no, no, no, no
I know you tried to
And I came riding in on a pale white horse
Handing out highs to less fortunate
I do advise you
Run it on back
When you're breaking it down for me
'Cause I can't hear you two times
Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?

[Chorus]
I got to do things my own way, darling
Will you ever let me?
Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way, darling
You should just let me
Why you ain't ever let me grow?

[Post-Chorus]
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind

[Verse 2]
Let me cover your shit in glitter
I can make it gold, gold
Heard you tryna sell your soul, baby
Word on the street, you run it low lately
I needed you to please give my reflection a break
From the face it's seeing now
Oh, darling, would you please giving my reflection a break
From the pain it's feeling now?

[Chorus]
I got to do things my own way darling
You should just let me
Will you ever respect me? No
Do things my own way, darling
You should just let me
Why you ain't ever let me grow?

[Post-Chorus]
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind
When I look outside my window
I can't get no peace of mind

[Outro]
Oh, let me know
Get, get, no peace of mind
Let me know

Annie Clark, better known under her moniker St. Vincent (a Nick Cave reference) , is best described as living between the “intersection of accessible and lunatic”. Her demented sense of style is unrestricted by specific rock subgenre, and set free by the complex contrasts of heavy, deep instrumental entwining with Clark’s angelic vocals.

Since her debut solo album in 2007, Marry Me, Clark built up from her artful indie rock style into increasingly intriguing and fascinating sounds. She signed with the label 4AD for her second release, Actor, which was written as inspired by film scores. Clark proved her great strengths as a composer, but didn’t find the heavy guitar sounds she is now known for until her next album.

Strange Mercy was Clark’s third release, which continued St. Vincent’s upward trend of grittier sounds that arouse sense and emotion. In her Coup de Main Magazine interview, regarding the huge influx of heavy, distorted guitar on Strange
