Feather girl
With chloroform lips
And thimbles on all her fingertips
She taps the rhythm to my song
Thin as air yet very strong
Leather girl
With Diazepam hips
And beaded tendons
On her wrists
She strums her auburn hair to my song
The melody goes on and on
On and on
Don't you see
Their heavy heads are flower crowns
Their feet are planted deep within the ground
Will it be
The name you call
When the floral girl fades
And summer becomes fall
Does it matter at all
Cotton girl
With wire bones
They rip your stained
White cloth home
It will not last but tell no one
Tell no one
Offal girl
Is filled with stones
She swims against the undertow
When she is told
(they all tell her)
Don't you see
Their heavy heads are flower crowns
Their feet are planted deep within the ground
Will it be
The name you call
When the floral girl fades
And summer becomes fall
It doesn't matter at all
