philomena

decemberists, the

oh

philomena

you in a tawdry gown

lean to your window

let slip a ribbon down. a cure to your boredom if only you'd let me go

down

down down

long summer days can lead to lazy vices

boys all at idle

left to their own devices

open up your linen lap and let me go

down

down

down

all that i wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl

but i found i quickly bored. i wanted more. i wanted more

so i'll be your candle and i'll be your statuette

and i'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette

and dark philomena

if only you'd let me go

down

down down

all that i wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl

but i found i quickly bored. i wanted more

oh

so much more

so i'll be your candle and i'll be your statuette

and i'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette

and dark philomena

if only you'd let me go

down

down down

go down

down

down

go down

go down
