lyrics

florescent bulbs shed the light
that shines through your sun dress
the pale blue cloth
that clings to your soft breast as you walk
from hallway to hall
&pass that trick mirror you'll never see through

mess hall crafts are the way
that you address your abscess
keep all that glitter on paper plates
there's no need to get upset
these good folks here
will teach you to suppress your faults
there are clinics and cults
i know a cult you may like to be in

the walls here are so made up in all that drab
i thought i was nude though i was just scant clad
yes, that's a beautiful ad -
as though you needed one that bad
the people they are scurrying in & out these three revolving doors

did you perform in your grand exit
as you had imagined?
when you had it shipped in from home
you do now have fashion
you'd have traded a vacancy or an ugly passion
for the most intimate recluse
but the drugs that you used
they were designed to frustrate troubled youth

you swore me out
you made me feel bad for feeling alone
you crawled into &bore out back home
that much i should've fucking known
as you begged, "wake me up before you go"
but when i was finally released
you left me with a small kiss on the cheek

go now, mind the curfew, look up when you speak&
lock your hands& choose your meals carefully
