Make Up

from Four Songs by Canary

/

lyrics

Wash your hair in mother's milk
Dye it clean in baby's blood
Secret visits to a place in town
No mother's creed to wear you down

Quiet shy girl on her last thrill
It was a clean kill
To shake away and take away
The cuss word whispers in your hair
So have a care

To leave a note to wake up

(x,x)

So much nothing going 'round in this small town
We've seen the house-beaten wives with the factory night lives
And the life lost between the car and the bar gate
(you never know when it's too late)

And still a sound on the side of the last door
Left crack'd open enough for seekers to be fooled
And all God "lovers" in Sunday School
Say
That she's a one, made in make up, in make up!

"Speaking to me words of release,
and so disease me with your Golden Ease…"

Sometimes
Never
In a time, and time unknown
Always
Forever,
We click our heels…
But we never…
Get home…
