la lettre

[Verse 1] In my glass palace I can breathe Caress the mid-sized pile of granite stones I placed beside me In my glass palace I’m at peace Glance across the garden air, the window shut, so help me I have the whole world on her back Or at least that’s how it feels when breaking headlines are my soundtrack I see my city turning black We grew one palace for each patron of the new class [Pre-Chorus] Je suis pianiste, pas poète. J’ai désolé Do you know what I mean? I’ll admit, I can be difficult to understand Is anybody out there? Will anybody harken to me I’ll let anybody sit down, sit down, If you listen carefully [Chorus] Now if I said “Pull the lace a little tighter, man” Would you take me by the ankles with your spiderhands And if I’m ever out of turn Hold me down and tell me “Darling, not another word” If I said “I could do this for you anyday” Would you vow to keep me docile and dependant on your say And if I ever scream for more Strike my body like your dad’s a fucking minotaur [Verse 2] The id’s forgotten how to swim And if I dally, I fear something shall befall him I lie in waiting, with a drink Rose negligee, blue slippers, wine red drawers and jet black cufflinks The ancient sky is white and bare The light is plentiful, his blouse aflame, his skin fair I hold my right paw in the air I raise a padded thumb and tell the sun to get down from there [Pre-Chorus] Je suis pianiste, pas poète. J’ai désolé Do you know what I mean? I’ll admit, I can be difficult to understand Is anybody out there? Will anybody harken to me I’ll let anybody sit down, sit down, If you listen carefully [Chorus] Now if I said “Pull the lace a little tighter, man” Would you take me by the ankles with your spiderhands And if I’m ever out of turn Hold me down and tell me “Darling, not another word” If I said “I could do this for you anyday” Would you vow to keep me docile and dependant on your say And if I ever scream for more Strike my body like your dad’s a fucking minotaur I said “Pull the lace a little tighter, man” Would you take me by the ankles with your spiderhands And if I’m ever out of turn Hold me down and tell me “Darling, not another word” If I said “I could do this for you anyday” Would you vow to keep me docile and dependant on your say And if I ever scream for more Strike my body like your dad’s a fucking minotaur [Outro] Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there? Is anybody out there?
