Okkervil River - Antarctica Starts Here lyrics

The paranoid great movie queen sits idly, fully armed Powder and mascara, they're a warning light for charm We see her every movie night, the strong against the weak The lines come out and struggle with the empty voice that speaks, that speaks Her heart is oh so tired now, of kindnesses gone by Like broken gla**es in a drain, gone down but not well spent The road from Barbary to here, she stole then sold right back The vanity, insanity, her hungry heart forgave The fading bride's dull beauty grows just begging to be seen Beneath the magic lights that reach from Barbary to here Her schoolhouse mind has windows now Where handsome creatures come to watch The anaesthetic wearing off Antarctica starts here
