lyrics

THE PAPER TREES

The paper trees are hitching up their foggy glassy petticoats
Those girls are muddy to their waists
Wet right up, wet right through
Wet right up, wet right through
Those pretty witches with birds pinned in their angled hair
Dam that lake, dam those murky ways
Dam that lake, dam those murky ways
An illustration of a girl by twisted twins weeps willows far beneath her

Dropping sympathy on dreams of
Ophelia and all the other weeping girls
Mister fish and all the paying johns
The doctors, lawyers and their sons
Who do they think they are?
Who do they think they are?
Yes burlesque waters turn to sludge
Yes burlesque waters turn to sludge
And who are you and I to judge
