lyrics

he has got a silver tongue
pushes her all over around
she's buying an iron lung
he's wearing a golden crown
-
she's been talking for the longest time
brilliant skies to whitest house
she's a little worried
she's a little spent
he's holding her hostage
he's holding her hand
-
now he's asking for marriage
she's not ready yet
he's making a big fuss
about the glorious bent on the shape of her forehead
-
and the tape on the couch
it pricks her little mouth
and she's stopping now
frozen before a shout
-
her tongue is solid
her friends are wondering why
she used to be so torrid
now she's dull as white
-
and i tell them the truth
the truth about having you
the lies to simmer down
and the thing we really had
-
all the scars on my eyelids
the termites in my ear
it keeps to my places
and my head always in fear
