My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied voices cried "Fratricide!"
Jesus, don't you know that you could've died
You should've died
With the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth!

And she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee-high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old dance kit she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you

Certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat
I mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel
Hope it won't hurt too bad

My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
What monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth!

And she says "I like long walks and sci-fi movies
You're six foot tall and East Coast-bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head."

well done!

saw the bowl of fire a few times around the swimming hour days but lost touch around weather systems, i might have to sample some armchair apocrypha, now. Gracias for sparking a memory lane stroll.

How long did this take you

and how many drafts did you go through?

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Heh...

Branyan had a shiteating grin after tagging out Drew.

And I guess that’s one way to get people to click on every single link. Tinyurl delenda est! (Seriously, excellent job.)

we do have good taste around here

I really like his studio albums, but his live show is the worst I’ve ever been to.

/probably didn’t help that I was angry-drunk that night. not a good vibe for Andrew Bird.

Bravo

Fantastic. I hear “She’s got an old death kit she’s been meaning to use” rather than dance kit. Sorry to quibble… or every masterpiece has an intentional flaw.

All the lyrics say death kit too

I listened to it like ten times trying to figure out which it was, and I swear I hear sibilance. I don’t actually own the physical album—are the lyrics included?

He's extremely quick and good.

I don't have the actual album either

but I do hear “death” pretty clearly. (That sounds ominous.)

Aside, I was digging around and found this NPR interview. There’s a link there to a slideshow of the Jay Ryan artwork on the album that makes me want to get it, rather than rely on my borrowed digital copy.
