mewithoutYou - Wendy & Betsy

Текст песни

Signs of contemptible times!
You still dance with an arm to your side?
Our hands to be empty &still
Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will…
Is last winter’s prize winning
Norwegian Forest outside?!
Could I try on your lilac dress?
Wendy?
(And you know the rest)
So I take from your stare
You’ve got a lesson in there?
Well they say the Institute made
A perfected replica blade for the Ancient of Days
While you dial the priest I’ll tell Princess to try the police…
We could start the 3rd World War!
But then what good would scripture be for?
Word has it the younger McKim girl’s not well…
…you remember that story with the mermaid and the actor?
Betsy, the bones of the prophets we saw!
The mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall!
All joking aside, five fingers wide
Should the bed of the bride be despair
Tell your parents it’s true
Though I’d never physically hurt you
I do know some Arabic prayers
But I left what was left of my self-respect
Like a Swiss army knife on the ground
And a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint
By what some call 'the Temple Mount.'
