about

The lyrics to this song were assembled from words and phrases found in Andrew Lang's "Blue Fairy Book," "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy, and "No Great Magic" by Fritz Leiber.

Originally written for Song Fight.

lyrics

the clown costumes on all us men
smelling like autumn leaves
when the great white bear promised
to make us all rich
if he might take our youngest daughter

as for authority, everybody outranks me
although I’ve got my crotchets, all right, all right
empty your mind and listen only
play the sleepwalking scene tonight

nothing has changed since he has been kissing her
watch her prove it once more
dragged by white horses
up and down the street
naked in a barrel of sharp nails

vague lucubrations
of clever magicians
on societal rubrics
fondly abandoned
dismantling her
appetite for joy

thereupon she resumes her plod back along the road
not altogether full of hope
but full of conviction
she should not have been born
we don't in the least understand

nothing has changed
