lirik lagu reverend glasseye - promenade
when i was brought into the hall
i was pedicured with care and groomed
into a man i did not know
and though i danced with feet of stone
and thoughts of fleeting discouragement
i was told my worries did not show
as we spun around
like two birds in a small bird’s cage
my partner laughed and smiled and said
“oh dance, you fool, i’m sure you know the way”
oh, i was the prom king then
and she was no act of god
as we spun and spun around, i sang my song
it was the only one i knew
she laughed as i sang off key
“hurrah, i’ve been washed clean
these idle hands they cannot touch me now”
then my dirty girl, she walked away
and scoffed and stared at her idle hands (oh)
and it was then i felt revealed
but the music played and the song was wrong
where’s the major lilt and the minor fall
of broken thievery concealed?
as i spun around
like a puppet in the (?) so scared
the dancers stared as i cried aloud:
“oh dance, you fools, i’m sure you know the way!”
oh where is your prom king now?
oh where is your mandolin?
now you spin and spin around, and i will sing!
but in truth, i had no voice
so i spun and spun around
and grabbed a lady true and fair
well maybe not so true, but cold, and cruel, and then~~!
oh, she was my prom queen now!
oh, she was my act of god!
as we spun and spun around, she sang her song!
i had to strain my ears to hear
her words they dribbled out like a thoughtless prayer
well faster and faster we spun around
she collapsed into my arms and
sang out her prayer ~~
when i had a minute i answered her there ~~
and she wept against the suit that i wore ~~
as she sang out her prayer, oh, you’d have said ~~
lie lie lie lie, lie lie lies
lie lie lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie, lie lie lies
etc
