V1:
And as the comb comes from the drawer
Or as the blood tends to distort
Silence and Sickles and Hammers and Tides
Villains and Vowels and Love made outside
She lives off the grid, don't need your advice,
She gives you a bid, We've all got a price
And as the town transforms from lea
Or as the tip becomes the fee
Spices and Silver and Incense and Dye
Mushrooms and Monsters and Boston creme pie
She's dressed to a T, from head to her toe,
She's got her degree… oh…
C1:
The way it works is not very clear
All of history demands we hear
The marching forward of All That Is
She is the first, she is the last
She is motion manifest
She is the sound
V2:
And as the horse runs from the flea
Or as the hill becomes the sea
Hornets and Harlots and Buildings and Dreams
Dishes and Doughnuts and Communist schemes
She's making her list, checking it twice
No need to resist, We've all got our vice
And as the ships don't come to port
We dare not sing, we do not score
Paper and Plastic and Business and Wars
Comets and Cupids and Hallways of doors
She's strict as a law, her ducks in a row
She's havin' a ball… oh…
C2:
The way it works is not very clear
All of history demands we hear
The marching forward of All That Is
She is the first, she is the last
She is motion manifest
She is the sound…
The way it works is not very clear
All of history demands we hear
The marching forward of All That Is
She is the start, she is the stop
She's that last delicious drop
She is the fury…
