Myrtle Parade

[Verse 1] Myrtle’s from the coast down in Carolina Said cultural consumer with her MFA Lynch too plays syndicated nostalgia SONY purchase just a click away I saw your profile standing in profile Waiting for the pot at the end of the hallway Past the hallway balcony light show Cigarette smoke for the Sabbath below [Chorus] And you’re always out of place At the Myrtle parade Forced to party and act out the Myrtle charade Myrtle charade [Post-Chorus] And I was followed by two men with stickered Macintosh I’ve seen their show It’s always the same Some girl’s hands are rubbing over my body Click to wipe the slate To type her pen name Erased [Chorus] But I'm always out of place at the Myrtle parade I just go through motions Act out the Myrtle charade Myrtle charade [Verse 2] We've all heard of Myrtle but nobody’s met her Her stale beer sits at the top of a pillar She hides her figure in an XL tee Unknown Pleasures on her back I saw her profile standing in profile Pillbox down digestive tract The laptop men want Myrtle’s bed They're gonna have to go Wyckoff instead [Chorus] And it's always out of phase at the Myrtle parade We're just cast as background in Myrtle charade Myrtle charade [Post-Chorus] And I was followed by a tall man with his head in his hood This time I hope he don’t know my name Some kind of deals happen once in a lifetime Click to wipe the slate And clear all terrain Erased [Verse 3] I stuck around for lights and the wine But never really having a good time Myrtle cried, "I deserve so much better" Been here such a long, long time Such a long time, long time, long time [Chorus] And even she's even out of place At the Myrtle parade Forced to party and act out the Myrtle charade Myrtle charade
