"I am a heart" is from my 2011 album Broken Bird.  The song also appears on the Dark Secret Places collection.

"Filmarilyn" is a 1992 short film by Paolo Gioli.

Thanks for listening.

I am a heart

I am a heart
broken fascist
I am a heart
broken fascist

you can fly away to Spain
you can go to Mexico
I will stand naked in the rain
I will set fire to the snow

cuz I am a heart
broken fascist
I am a heart
broken fascist

here comes the dumb arm of the law
to objectify & crush me
your heart will never thaw
you will never touch me
again

little Hitler gets
everything she wants
darling, I know
why the caged bird hates your guts

you're like a road coated with ice,
a noose that makes you feel nice
a poem written on the bottom of my shoe,
but I don't care,
cuz I love you

I am a heart
broken fascist
I am a heart
broken fascist
