lyrics
Well I would take the bane of logic
for my few imperfect fears
I would trade the broad blue ocean
for seven four-square years
In the chaos high above me
is a squirming dragonfly
Would someone please release her
from the never-ending sky?
Oh could you give three reasons
why a man should leave his wife
for a pocketful of treason
on a beautiful warm night?
Did she say “I love you?”
Were her eyes all wild and clear?
Was she thinking of you
when my body disappeared?
Oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
Oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
(go stand in line,
it’s easy to look away…)
Last radiator season
in that wicked time of year
A cavalry of mannequins was
standing ear to ear
Right outside our window,
as the sun began to rise
I swear I saw the chainsaw
come and roll them to the skies…
But all the laser in the world won’t
burn the lace from the girl
and her bedbound fame
The cataclysm whirls,
one more matriarch in pearl
trades her holy name
oh lead me on, this god is strong –
I hear they bathe you and scrape you
they bathe you and scrape you
‘til the world is gone…
In the cupboard of our kitchen
hangs an ordinary knife
but it’s Gueneviere’s good silver
if you twist it to the right
(slow turning, slowly burning)
So I leave you all the candy
on those ladies’ magazines
(yeah, I make good cake, pie, cup o’ tea,
but it’s not what I had in mind originally)
you can take the gingerbread house
leave me all the pinks and greens
Oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
(go stand in line,
it’s easy to look away…)
for my few imperfect fears
I would trade the broad blue ocean
for seven four-square years
In the chaos high above me
is a squirming dragonfly
Would someone please release her
from the never-ending sky?
Oh could you give three reasons
why a man should leave his wife
for a pocketful of treason
on a beautiful warm night?
Did she say “I love you?”
Were her eyes all wild and clear?
Was she thinking of you
when my body disappeared?
Oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
Oh baby oh baby
if it hurts so – look away
(go stand in line,
it’s easy to look away…)
Last radiator season
