1542 Lyrics

Mary Timony 1542

I watched your father’s house
From 1542
You watched me on the couch
Knocked out by the blues
Your friend was a louse
But I tried to make him see
The devil inside me and the song of the bee

Way down below
You played the fender Rhodes
How was supposed to know that you did not even like me?
These Polaroid’s are black but in them you can see
There’s nothing inside you and nothing in me

The radio played on while no one was home
There were fires everywhere
And leaves on the stairs
The engine arrived at your Florida motel
For a 100 dead souls that couldn’t be found at all

Out on the lawn I stood by the pool
Your house was just as tall
The needle and the jewel
