lyrics

Marble Hats & Gowns

I come out in the dead of night
Looking for a haunt
Looking for a way home
I used to be a circus clown
I used to be a tap dancer

You might remember me from the
Way that stack of newspapers made you sneeze
You might remember me
From the way your grandma rolled her stockings
Down below her knees

I’m flitting between the stones
I’m really beneath your nose
I’m finding new ways to
Get my hands solid on things again
I’m flitting between the stones
I’m really beneath your nose
I’m finding new ways to
Get my hands on solid things again

Come dance with me
Put on your marble hat
Come shake the ground
In a party dress made of
Ghostly linen
We’ll have the best night ever
Rattling the townies
We’ll ascend together

Queen and King of the mausoleum!
