lyrics

She said that "all the girls in the promising bands
are floated by a bloody hand
But I'm not sure if it's always been that way.

"I've been around Green Lawn for far too long
to believe their soul is anything more
than a quarter pound of white prerogative.

"Do you want to hold my hand?
Do you want to kiss me while you still can?
Soon, I'll be gone
Would you like a night to complikate?

"Never believe the words of the victors when
they're selling you the secrets that
made them who they think they are today.

"Behind the squinting eyes of Western Zen
there's a company man buttoned in.
To the left and the right, old college friends, like Gore Vidal says.

"Such a drag when they sing their songs.
Such a drag when they talk of fates forgone.
Soon I'll be gone.
But would you like a night to complikate?"

And she knows the irony
When she screams "don't listen to me."
Never go. There's no away.
But would you like a night to complikate?
