Vespers

You weren't asked, but you borrowed a dress
Stood at the edge
Through shoo-wop dee-doos
And "Stairway to Heaven"

Walked the long way home
Took a picture of yourself
Shuffled yourself around the room
Humming "Clair de lune"

Taffeta sky
Tears in your eyes
It's the least romantic night of your life
If you leapt
Would you land on a trampoline
Burn everything
Burn everything

Head bowed in the night's breeze
Faces in the mist and vespers to Kali
Incense drifts through the mothlight
The stars crown you queen of wounding

I sew your name into mythology
Glorify your excessive yearning
The woman on the moon is winking
You charge under her light

Taffeta sky
Tears in your eyes
It's the least romantic night of your life
And you're too young
To know a capped infinity
Burn everything
Burn everything

Taffeta sky
Tears in your eyes
Taffeta sky
Tears in your eyes

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
