The Mending of the Gown
Sunset Rubdown

He made an enemy then, he made an enemy of all of younIt’s him, not you.nnYou never heard it from me but there’s a breach in the hull of the truthnAnd the water’s too deep to prove.nnHe made an enemy then, he made an enemy of all of younIt’s him, not you.nIt’s a little red sea let the man go we could go freenSee the paddle go up, and the paddle go downnAnd the paddle go up, and the paddle go downnAnd the paddle go up, and the paddle go downnAnd the man falls in the sea.nnHe was a man of many nations, had a hundred souls and a hundred to gonHe was a man of many nations, two hearts, two hands, it’s a slippery slope.nHe had a fear of being naked, but you’re any other man in another man’s clothesnHe was a man of many nations, of revelations, oh revelations.nHe wrote a book about the Bible and he wrote a book about men in the skynHe wrote a book about the smell of winter then two, a little less simple to deciphernSaying, “I am the water at the foot of the palms, oh I am sand and wind and the shit in your nose, but either way, I’m a man of many nations.”nnWas it the mending of the gown, or the running it around? Was it the mending of the gown, or the running and the running it around?nnShe had a name, she had a spirit, she had a line in the play if you wanted to hear it.nBut the master of disguises, her demise was her design, they said.nWas it the mending of the gown, or the running, and the running and the running it around?nShe said my name and my spirit are both corrupt and if you hold me close, you gotta hold me up.nIt was the tender mending of this slender gown that brought me bending to the ground.nNow you’ll wear any old thing, oh you’ll wear any old thing.nSo she wrapped herself in swallowing up the fever to the air of the broken windnIt’s an actor thing, she’s just pretending. It’s an actor thing, she’s just pretending.nIf you burn the virgin flags, then I will shake (Shake!) as the heat waves in the sun.nThis one’s for Maggie, this one’s for Sam.nThis one’s for Maggie, this one’s for Sam.nOh, any other random spirit lover busted, I have lusted after you…nThe way bloodsuckers do!nThe way bloodsuckers do!nThe way bloodsuckers do!nnnWas it the mending of the gown, or the running it around?nWas it the mending of the gown, or the running and the running and the running and the running it around?nIt was the tender mending of this slender gown that brought me bending to the ground.nBUT THIS SHIP WILL HAVE TO GO DOWNnSEE THE PADDLE GO UP AND THE PADDLE GO DOWN!nAND THE PADDLE GO UP AND THE PADDLE GO DOWN!nAND THE PADDLE GO UP AND THE PADDLE GO DOWN!nAND THE PADDLE GO UP AND THE PADDLE GO DOWN!nWhoah-oh-oh…
