Palriga |
| Perfectly blended nasty and nice |
| When you closed shop that night I gave in without a fight |
| I already had too many that week |
| Unprepared to do battle on so little sleep |
| I don’t care about your other little boys or girls |
| Snail trail across this town that’s your choice and you will |
| Don’t believe you want this to end |
| Some things seem so natural by your side |
| Like exploring haunted houses and laying out at night |
| Staring at the branches and the backlit sky |
| That moment was complete |
| Nothing unfulfilled about it |
| Other times, blank slate |
| Slate vain with promise, anticipation |
| Confusion, desire |
| Desire, confusion |
| Since before the beginning |
| Always start when I hear your name |
| «Grr,» means, «let's purr» |
| It was an awful lot of fun and you seem to concur |
| Tracing a summer diary |
| Full of similar scratches |
| Only deeper, is a proper way to say |
| Goodbye |
| Girl playing pear-shaped, a ruthless carpet beggar |
| I’ll hope for the former and pray for the latter |
| A man to kiss and hug would bore you to death |
| So please take back all those kind things you said |
| Hopeless romantic means naked ambition |
| And sparks fly frantic and naked stays hidden |
| Such a cold dismissal |
| Like letting out the cat, blowing on a thistle |
| You did me a favor by cutting me off |
| I did myself the embarrassment of showing how soft I can be |
| A total cave-in |
| A total cave-in |
| Your curiosity |
| Finally stared me down |
| Watching you dissect the other side |
| Is an endless source of amusement and pride |
| You carved your initials on their learning tree |
| And bored a hole through the arrogant heart of their breed |
| So many layers covering up what’s deep inside |
| Doesn’t keep it hidden from my sight |
| You’re afraid I’ll see there’s nothing there |
| But there is |
| There is |
| When you conquer that fear |
| It’s gonna be tremendous |
| So, flowers for a self-made superstar |
| Don’t wait, go and buy yourself a really good cigar |
| You already have something better than fame |
| An inner-strength that’s growing every day |
| Growing every day |
| Thanks for the bread, salt, and kindness |
| If I hit another dead nerve I’ll call your highness |
| When you read this letter aloud |
| Be careful to emphasize the rusty tune horn half |
| Beg bittersweet taste of my crown |
| When it’s been tossed around |
| When it’s been used as a testing ground |
| A girl, a plan, a canal |
| Palriga |
| A girl, a plan, a canal |
| Palriga |
| A girl, a plan, a canal |
| Palriga |
| Palriga tramples through the loneliest of towns |
| The isolation is tremendous |
| You be the girl |
| And you always will |
