Mendoza Line - Aspect Of An Old Maid lyrics

rate me

Chastised and abraded

So windswept and faded

She wore the aspect of an old maid

Well you're still taking lovers

You take some further than others

I still can not believe how I saw behind your blinded,

Blotted eyes

But I could not get beneath your covers

I've seen the old cabaret

With the fetish's tailor

I've seen the morbid cachet

Of significant failure

And I know this means so much more to me than it does

To you

But meet me back in room 417 we've still got work to do

Hey baby I know you had that baby before you were

Really ready to

Because I've seen you hold it so timid and unsteady and

I've seen the fear when it looks at you

And I've seen so much of your body

And though you were just under 30

I swore I saw on your face the aspect of an old maid

(Old maid)

And to call on your tyrant director

That his cruel will be dispersed

'Til all my deeds to the inspector

I am ready for the worst

All that hubcap stealing, marijuana dealing, high sex

Crimes and electric cars

Hey painting in the crosshairs lets you rearrange the

Deck chairs

Though you swoon and you sway you still don't belong

Here

And it's not as if I ever really told you that I cared

But you know that even if I did

You still would not be spared

And you're still taking long drives

Even the end designing needs of why

Oh it's so hard to know just how to dress for the last

Days of our lives

I've seen the whole three act play

I've seen the poster and the trailer

I never thought I'd have to pay

This much attention to one girl just to nail her

Down as to what it was

She wore the aspect of an old maid
