lyrics

This crown so heavily weighs
(So what)
So, would you wear it for less
(who)

Whoever married this queen
(hoping that his riddle is guessed)
I hope his riddle is guessed

(oh)

Convivial spreading wings
reveal a lioness
convening with her cards
considering my odds

(now my vision gone)
casual singleton
(who stands akimbo)
her roping neckline
(inveigled by the long)
fibulas that dangle from
(her other operatic bones)
my anguish as they
languish in her dress


I'm a mess
(woah)



like a daisy bloom
(petals fresh and new)
somehow forgot the moon
(inside this crowded room)

daliances hued
(old and violent blue)
her nastic dancing
(as if the time stopped)


holding you is something that I always had to do

knowing this something is beyond my own control


once the suite has passed
use my heart's bagasse
to burn the evidence
why leave it up to chance



(rouge on summer lips)
lost between the sips
(of newly minted)
silver bourbon
(gentle finger tips)
careful not to trip
(her silent glance a fer de lance)
the size of which will
stop you in your tracks


hat are the chances
that someone perfect like she
is also perfect enough
to fall in love with a real
imperfect person
someone who's fallen down
what are the chances
now that my chance has run out
