7. The Altar

Lady lays
Lets the day go slowly
Lady lays
She recalls the day
She’s dripping mascara
She’s gripping her olive leaf
Lips are calling
She breaks at the altar
That she might rest in peace
Ah the altar

She says



Oh yeah
She takes her time
She lights her candle
Pours the wine
And the gossiping, gossiping
Macho posturing
Boys to girls
Infiltrates her single glaze
She says
She says
Oh yeah
Would you let me love you?
