I made a point of using the song “When I Am Through With You” by The VLA for my Song Lyric of the Day yesterday since I was writing about summer TV, and it’s the theme song for Damages on FX. After a long Google search, I kept coming up empty and could only find a couple of lines. So what to do? Go directly to the source: I sent an email via MySpace to the band, and they were awesome enough to reply with the lyrics. So here they are, exactly as they were sent to me:

“When I am Through With You.”
Lyrics by Jason Rabe
Music by Jason Rabe and Ravi Subramanian

Little lamb, smile!

When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left

Oh come back now where did you go?
no need to cower don’t know
if i can even turn your light on
hello daisy, is that you hiding in the grass?
I’ve come to pluck you, To pluck you right in half.

When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left

I come to the city alone i packed up my life and my
home
’cause i feel like a body at rest is a life in hell
so unpack my bags unpack my bags
kiss her on the mouth and she says
“smile little lamb”

When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left

Be sure to pop by The VLA’s MySpace page, where you can listen to this and some more of their songs.
