Frightened Rabbit

Wedding Gloves
A melting of morals, a solder of soulsAs sexy as lace but with just as much holesDoubts were debated and questions were raisedAll the stags and the hens were stunned and amazingThe portents and omens rang as loud as the bellsWith you at the altar and me in the cellsAre you still breathing?Are you holding it in?Was it you I heard sniffing when you were stooped at the sink?Are we still breathing?Are we holding it in?After all of this swimming, are we beginning to sink?The dress will decayBut be handed downYou can scrub, you can soakBut you can’t wash me outYou can call it perversionYou can call it a kinkBut no one can see usThere’s no need to thinkAre you still breathing?Are you holding it in?Was it you I heard sniffing when you were stooped at the sink?Letras de cancionesAre we still breathing?Are we holding it in?After all of this swimming, are we beginning to sink?All of these old stainsAll of them oursAnniversary fingerprints scattered all through the houseDo you even remember what we said in the vows?God was watching on SaturdayBut he is not with us now, with us nowTurn away from me, darlingFace to the wallTurn the big light out, I have locked the front doorSqueeze on the wedding gloves, your hands to the wallIt’s the only posterity that will crack me at all, crack me at allGrip me in your wedding gloveFake silk touched to my faceTens of years of giddy love come rushing back againGrip me in your wedding gloveFake silk touched to my faceTens of years of giddy love come rushing back again From Letras Mania
