Sarah Slean - Parasol lyrics

Long neck, shipwrecked terrified swan Lies in her mind left a burner on We crowd into the grand salon We're watching the mansion burn And I'm not quite down with the way they roll They throw knives from their eyes at my parasol And I'm only human after all Go easy on me Oh it's not like a country lane A day on the beach in Spain I'm courting a madness I cannot explain Oh Virginia We didn't know you had it in ya Oh Sweet Virginia And I coughed this up in a sooty perfume Out of my mouth like a feather plume And now here's one more crazy tune Adversity rings my bell And the wound came loose with a terrrible stench The pain left a stain on my piano bench And I chased it with a monkey wrench Cursing in my broken french It's not like a country lane A day on the beach in Spain I'm courting a madness I cannot explain Oh Virginia We didn't know you had it in ya Oh Sweet Virginia And no you can't play that in this serious hall Only apes wearing capes get the curtain call Your invitation to the ball Must be lost in the mail And I don't quite feel like working this crowd The rest has requested that I dumb it down They'll run your circus right out of town If you won't abide, but it's suicide Not like a country lane A day on the beach in Spain I'm courting a madness I cannot explain Oh Virginia We didn't know you had it in ya Oh Sweet Virginia We didn't know you had it in ya Oh Sweet Virginia
