about

A song inspired by the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

lyrics

Look at your hands pale yellow, difficult to arrange, ten eyes, ten ears, five mouths, white wax perfect veins. Waving our signs, “Bring us some wine,” the enemy of innocence. Our voices blending, loving, lusting, lilting in lavender. Sweet discordant laughing, longing, bullying customers. We bribe and we shriek, a Freudian dry heat. We’ll persevere valiantly. I am roses, you are hail, summer’s truth now wet and bare. “Let’s drive to the city? I’m so hot I could die.” You open palm the question, watch the tempers fly. Truth, sweat, and crushed mint: love’s antiseptic. “Can we get out of here? Babe, let’s get out of here." You are roses, I am hail, summer’s truth now wet and bare. Look at your feet, one sickled, beautiful, perfect, strange. These sins don’t add up right, the world owes me some change. Wisdom my dear, your mind is your mirror; color it carefully. I'll wear roses if you play hail. Summer’s truth will leave us wet and bare.
