The Mendoza Line - Aspect of an Old Maid lyrics

Chastised and abraded So windswept and faded She wore the aspect of an old maid Well you're still taking lovers You take some further than others I still can not believe how I saw behind your blinded, blotted eyes But I could not get beneath your covers I've seen the old cabaret With the fetish's tailor I've seen the morbid cachet Of significant failure And I know this means so much more to me than it does to you But meet me back in room 417 we've still got work to do Hey baby i know you had that baby before you were really ready to Because I've seen you hold it so timid and unsteady and I've seen the fear when it looks at you And i've seen so much of your body And though you were just under 30 I swore I saw on your face the aspect of an old maid (old maid) And to call on your tyrant director That his cruel will be dispersed 'til all my deeds to the inspector I am ready for the worst All that hubcap stealing, marijuana dealing, high s** crimes and electric cars Hey painting in the crosshairs lets you rearrange the deck chairs Though you swoon and you sway you still don't belong here And it's not as if I ever really told you that I cared But you know that even if i did You still would not be spared And you're still taking long drives Even the end designing needs of why Oh it's so hard to know just how to dress for the last days of our lives I've seen the whole three act play I've seen the poster and the trailer I never thought i'd have to pay This much attention to one girl just to nail her Down as to what it was She wore the aspect of an old maid
