Neko Case - Margaret v. Pauline lyrics
[Neko Case - Margaret v. Pauline lyrics]
Everything's so easy for Pauline
Everything's so easy for Pauline
Ancient strings set feet alight
To speed to her such mild grace
No monument of tacky gold
They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves
And they placed an ingot in her breast
To burn cool and collected
Fate holds her firm in it's cradle
And then rolls her for a
Tender pause to savour
Everything's so easy for Pauline
Girl with the parking lot eyes
Margaret is the fragments of a name
Her bravery is mistaken for the
Thrashing in the lake
Of the make-believe monster whose
Picture was faked
Margaret is the fragments of a name
Her love pours like a fountain
Her love steams like rage
Her jaw aches from wanting and
She's sick from chlorine
But she'll never be as clean
As the cool side of satin, Pauline pauline
Two girls ride the blue line
Two girls walk down the same street
One left her sweater sittin' on the train
And the other lost three
Fingers at the cannery
Everything's so easy for Pauline for Pauline
For Pauline
Everything's so easy for Pauline
Ancient strings set feet alight
To speed to her such mild grace
No monument of tacky gold
They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves
And they placed an ingot in her breast
To burn cool and collected
Fate holds her firm in it's cradle
And then rolls her for a
Tender pause to savour
Everything's so easy for Pauline
Girl with the parking lot eyes
Margaret is the fragments of a name
Her bravery is mistaken for the
Thrashing in the lake
Of the make-believe monster whose
Picture was faked
Margaret is the fragments of a name
Her love pours like a fountain
Her love steams like rage
Her jaw aches from wanting and
She's sick from chlorine
But she'll never be as clean
As the cool side of satin, Pauline pauline
Two girls ride the blue line
Two girls walk down the same street
One left her sweater sittin' on the train
And the other lost three
Fingers at the cannery
Everything's so easy for Pauline for Pauline
For Pauline
