Butterglory - Novelty In Two lyrics

The scent you gave was so revealing It's part of your wit, now the light shade plays To think that the stress of your nighttime tantrum Could hold out through your days Could hold out through your days All across the furled banners Novelty sat split in two The things you said may seem more noble Than the things you didn't do The things you didn't do If you wade through winding doorways Past the squires, the noise, and the wine Peace, you'll find, is ornamental Only the selfish nor unkind The selfish nor unkind
