The Fiery Furnaces - The Wayward Granddaughter lyrics

He said "Come on now babe Let's take a little drive Go slumming down the Carson's in my black X-5." Samples from the Clinique counter and up the escalator And then a knowing glance from last night's cute, talkative waiter Surprise, surprise Going through five hundred king Egyptian size count satin cotton sheets A smirk hello from the tanning salon boy My man mumbled, he realized "They told me that she cheats." "Oh, don't you start! Jealous heart." Jealous heart.
