Wendy & Betsy Lyrics
[00:12.07] Signs of contemptible times
[00:17.08] You still dance with an arm to your side?
[00:23.64] Our hands to be empty and still
[00:28.51] Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will
[00:36.09] Is last winter's prize winning Norwegian Forest outside?
[00:41.17] Could I try on your lilac dress?
[00:44.23] Wendy band you know the rest
[00:47.14] So I take from your stare
[00:52.44] You've got a lesson in there?
[00:58.70] Well they say the Institute made
[01:04.71] A perfected replica blade for the Ancient of Days
[01:11.43] While you dial the priest I'll tell Princess to try the police
[01:16.48] We could start the 3rd World War!
[01:19.75] But then what good would scripture be for?
[01:22.67] An absence of calm in the air as the temperature fell
[01:25.79] On the new concierge at the Carriage Hotel
[01:28.55] Word has it the younger McKim girl's not well
[01:31.58] You remember that story with the mermaid and the actor?
[01:34.83] Betsy, the bones of the prophets we saw
[01:37.49] The mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall
[01:40.33] In grandiose tones, raising right paw
[01:43.37] In Jacques Louis David Tennis Court Oath gesture
[01:46.89] All joking aside, five fingers wide
[01:50.48] Should the bed of the bride be despair
[01:53.08] Tell your parents it's true
[01:54.49] Though I'd never physically hurt you
[01:57.01] I do know some Arabic prayers
[01:59.12] But I left what was left of my self-respect
[02:02.44] Like a Swiss army knife on the ground
[02:04.98] And a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint
[02:08.25] By what some call ‘the Temple Mount
[02:11.25]
[00:17.08] You still dance with an arm to your side?
[00:23.64] Our hands to be empty and still
[00:28.51] Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will
[00:36.09] Is last winter's prize winning Norwegian Forest outside?
[00:41.17] Could I try on your lilac dress?
[00:44.23] Wendy band you know the rest
[00:47.14] So I take from your stare
[00:52.44] You've got a lesson in there?
[00:58.70] Well they say the Institute made
