Sarah Slean - Parasol lyrics

Artist: Sarah Slean

album: The Baroness Redecorates


Long neck, shipwrecked terrified swan
Lies in her mind left a burner on
We crowd into the grand salon
We're watching the mansion burn
And I'm not quite down with the way they roll
They throw knives from their eyes at my parasol
And I'm only human after all
Go easy on me
Oh it's not like a country lane
A day on the beach in Spain
I'm courting a madness
I cannot explain
Oh Virginia
We didn't know you had it in ya
Oh Sweet Virginia
And I coughed this up in a sooty perfume
Out of my mouth like a feather plume
And now here's one more crazy tune
Adversity rings my bell
And the wound came loose with a terrrible stench
The pain left a stain on my piano bench
And I chased it with a monkey wrench
Cursing in my broken french
It's not like a country lane
A day on the beach in Spain
I'm courting a madness
I cannot explain
Oh Virginia
We didn't know you had it in ya
Oh Sweet Virginia
And no you can't play that in this serious hall
Only apes wearing capes get the curtain call
Your invitation to the ball
Must be lost in the mail
And I don't quite feel like working this crowd
The rest has requested that I dumb it down
They'll run your circus right out of town
If you won't abide, but it's suicide
Not like a country lane
A day on the beach in Spain
I'm courting a madness
I cannot explain
Oh Virginia
We didn't know you had it in ya
Oh Sweet Virginia
We didn't know you had it in ya
Oh Sweet Virginia
