When it came time to sing my line I would occasionally change the highlighted word ‘what’ to ‘who’… **IN PLAY:** She used her body just like a bandage, She used my body just like a wound. I’ll probably never know where she disappeared, But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising up from a tomb!
