"Lavender," Horsefeathers

Horse Feathers - Like Lavender


The wall breaks on the phone if at all, if you call.
A hole from which to see your head,
if words are dead.

Some things always stay the same.
How you looked wet from all the rain.

Like lavender the smell of your hair,
silly errs postponing your despair.

And I'll wait, I'll wait.
Take a ticket to my own fate.
Maybe I'm too late.

And this wall breaks on the phone it at all, if you call.
A hole from which to see your head,
if words are dead.

Some things always stay the same.
How you looked wet from all the rain.
Some things always stay the same.

"The Radiator Hums," Cursive:



Dinner's getting cold --
You haven't touched a thing
So what's it gonna be?
I can hold out much longer than you
When it's steady I'm just acting out my roles
When you're ready I'll be walking out that door
And don't call me Pretty Baby anymore,
Oh, foolish worker bee --
I'm your fucking queen.

I threw out the phone to try to get through to you
The lines are down, drowned by the hum of the radiator
This house is the hole that you could never fill
With rose-blossomed bouquets, vanities and loveseats

Sad little boy, I know you get confused
But everyone goes through these trials of self-truth and self-abuse
When you're selfless you're so hard not to adore
When you're selfish, I just love you even more
I want to help you, but you've got to say the words:
"I want to be cured."

Drowned...
Deep in this hole we've dug for ourselves
Throw me in -- headfirst, submerged in this great depression
Impoverished, and Impotent....

...And Don't Call Me Pretty Baby

I threw out the phone to try to get through to you
The lines are down, drowned by the hum of the radiator
This house is the hole that you could never fill
With shattered dinner plates
That's how we'll communicate

Hey, Pretty Baby, are you ready for bed?
