Christmas Talk

from Ghost Dragons by Ulysse Marshall

/

lyrics

Where do you think we’re headed?
With this little world of yours
And those little sounds you make
Inside your tiny little town

You wish you were a pale orchid
And your children were all blond
No sails, no weird thought, no motion
Twenty grey candles burn your soul

I never met a young woman
With so much
Fucked up world-twisting power
You’re dressed up as you’re 60
The world you’re in
Wrapped up in your kin

I never met a young woman
With so much
Fucked up world-twisting power
You’re dressed up as you’re 60
The world you’re in
Wrapped up in your kin

I think you’ve got no excuses
You self-respectful little tsar
You could be dancing with the Muses
You should be lightening up the stars

There’s us and there’s them as you might know
All this wolf-pack Christmas talk
Makes me feel like an empty sad crow
Makes me feel like a lonely hawk

I never met a young woman
With so much
Fucked up world-twisting power
You’re dressed up as you’re 60
The world you’re in
Wrapped up in your kin

I never met a young woman
With so much
Fucked up world-twisting power
You’re dressed up as you’re 60
The world you’re in
Wrapped up in your kin

Never met a girl like you before
You wish you were a pale orchid
Twenty grey candles burn your soul
Within that tiny little place of yours
