Formica tables that reflect the polish
Of slim b***ocks that behave as though
They slid easily across the surface
Will, when one stage removed
Reflect the many things
That are represented
By your burning cheeks
And you always knew
That, when seen up close
Chiffon is
A chafing, rigid mess
You always knew
That, when seen up close
Chiffon is
A chafing, rigid mess
A rigid mess
Falsehood has come define perfection
Can this be right? Can this be right?
Like Radcliffe, like Franco
Castles in Spain, castles in Spain
Gazelle legs have tripped
Before your eyes
For many a year now
They have come to be defined
By the distance between you and them
You have come to the conclusion
That this was always the point of such things
Being presented to you in the first place
And, as such
You are seeing them now
As they actually are
A gingham table cloth
Could be the surface
That you catch hold of
But you are seeing them now
As they actually are
A sarabanding peasant, a Dutch girl in socks
A Frenchman in a monkey costume
A woman in a horse cage, a woman in a bird cage
Castles in Spain, castles in Spain
Falsehood has come define perfection
Can this be right? Can this be right?
