Crown of the Valley Lyrics

Intro: E--D-A- x4
Verse 1:
we are the high
street service
trays coming to
take you away
pasadena 68
with speed on your
breakfast plate
Chorus 1:
aunt cancer calls
them happy pills
they keep her
calm and cool
until he leaves
Verse 2:
the moccasin skin
obsession leather
thigh white tennis
skirt so high
the eyes of mine
are new and kind
but the hair is
not grey it
is white
and grandfather
is an ascot noose
can't tie the
tassels on his
shoes leave me
Bridge 1:
oh god stop tearing
off the roof of my
experimental bathroom
it's the only thing
that's halfway mine
and not for your
prying and lying eyes
Verse 3:
these are the
red eyed politics
the cocktail
revisionists
war room rules
no wives or kids
here men sing
he boy in them
the hedge casts
heroes late across
our lawn the valley
hunt militiamen all
gone thought we had
the lock in 54
now the maid owns
the house next door
and what's more
Chorus 3:
swims in the pool
she used to clean
our new king looks
like a queen leave me
Bridge 2:
the empire is melting
like ice cream on
the altar of the
sun this skin
we've stretched
for centuries
it's faded it's
fraying it's
meaningless to me
Outro: E-- x8
