Malmsey Wine
I dreamed I got lost in Gloucester
And fell in the sea
The seagulls all screamed "Impostor!"
And pointed at me
So I sank through the turvy water
Past the sharks and the seals
I stole a kiss from the gorgon's daughter
And soldered fists to my heels
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Crown or kin, I can't make up my mind
I like the hunts and the balls and banquets
I like the sport and the game
But bloody burgundy's not my color
And Patience isn't my name
I've been pretending for faith and fury
I got a little too smart
Executive function has hung my jury
And run a rood through my heart
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Frown and spin the wheel to crush my spine
I'm the answer to that riddle that you rode
I won't be littering your glittering abode
When all the deeds have been done and dusted
When every word has been said
When all the iron you wrought has rusted
I'll still be happily dead
So many petals have fled this flower
So many hearts have gone still
Just be a lamb and unlock the tower
It's time for one final swill
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Gown of sin and candy alkaline
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Downy skin, you cut so deep and fine
And fell in the sea
The seagulls all screamed "Impostor!"
And pointed at me
So I sank through the turvy water
Past the sharks and the seals
I stole a kiss from the gorgon's daughter
And soldered fists to my heels
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Crown or kin, I can't make up my mind
I like the hunts and the balls and banquets
I like the sport and the game
But bloody burgundy's not my color
And Patience isn't my name
I've been pretending for faith and fury
I got a little too smart
Executive function has hung my jury
And run a rood through my heart
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Frown and spin the wheel to crush my spine
I'm the answer to that riddle that you rode
I won't be littering your glittering abode
When all the deeds have been done and dusted
When every word has been said
When all the iron you wrought has rusted
I'll still be happily dead
So many petals have fled this flower
So many hearts have gone still
Just be a lamb and unlock the tower
It's time for one final swill
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Gown of sin and candy alkaline
Drown me in a butt of Malmsey wine
Downy skin, you cut so deep and fine
