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 savor
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 a make believe monster whose picture was fake
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 a sweater sitting 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 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 savor 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 a make believe monster whose picture was fake 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 a sweater sitting on the train And the other lost three fingers at the cannery Everything's so easy for Pauline For Pauline For Pauline Explain Request ×
