lyrics

If we knew
other people
to hold onto,
then would we know
how many others
we must let go?

So, as I grow,
I find the ones that
I'd like to know.
And please,
please forget
all of the pieces
that I have set,

because when
the time it comes,
your board is what I
am walking from.

And she put her red dress on and she orbited the room
and she soon withdrew from the presence of the fumes
that were echoing from the mouths of everyone that she knew.
She knew.

And I'm not sure what we could disagree about.
I feel you, as a whole, are on the up and up,
but if you cannot meet me in the middle and concede
to give it all to me, then

then will I
be forced to act a
way I don't like?

For the sake of both of us,
don't make me feel I'm so dangerous.

Because if you do, I'm afraid I'll get carried away, and I'll cause such a mess that the rest of the day, I'll be tied to supply all that I cannot pay, so please, don't leave it up to me.

Twice a week,
Marcus Aurelius,
he comes to speak.
And it always starts out great,
but he ends up boasting
about his slaves.
And if
Genghis Khan,
he comes this evening,
prepare to run.
And don't allow
record collectors
to slow you down.

Because if they do, be afraid! They'll get carried away.
And they'll cause such a mess that the rest of the day
they'll be tied to supply for what they cannot pay,
so please,
leave it up to me.

In all her fairy tales,
a red carpet wedding
to the Prince of Wales.
But then,
white dress fatigue.
It made her sullen
It made her weak.
