Who was beheaded in an open boat?
Who caught the men and ran away with their clothes?
Wear the fur coat that matters most.
The masking of the new flag you tote.
Just stay.
I am not young enough to know everything.
Just stay.
Become my caterer, don't say a thing.
Some laudanum to chase the line.
Mescal buttons hold the fur coat fine.
The way you looked that day.
I mean I couldn't say.
But this vibrant green reflects a gray.
And it makes me think I could've stayed
To follow through for something new.
And just stay.
I am not young enough to know everything.
Just stay.
Become my caterer, don't say a thing.
I named her Melpomene, she'll sweetly feed me.
I got a secret, I won't let you hear it.
