Parenthetical Girls - Present Perfect (An Epithalamium) lyrics

Like blood to bruise
Your clothes clung close to you
And hair grown back to hues
Of curls you've kept from view

And mussed as it was
When last that I saw you
As much as each of us
Who'd just assume you knew?

We knew we knew
We knew we knew
We knew you float through the room
Which traipsed, in turn, through you
Retrace those restless days
Now laced amongst the pews

And young as we was
When I last laid hands on you
Your touch left most of us
With tails and tongues removed

And you knew

So speaks the priest of last reprieves
And each forever holds his peace
You stumbled once at vows of trust
But don't worry, kid
Your secret's safe with us

How we all salivate when the bells ring
How we all salivate when the bells ring

And we all salivate when the bells ring
And we all salivate when the bells ring
Still, we all salivate when the bells ring
And we all salivate when the bells ring

Still, we all salivate when the bells ring
Still, we all salivate when the bells ring
