Silver Strings

Call your sugar up

I’m sure they’ll send you a buck

Wipe those sterling stains

Before they wrap around you like chains

Golden claws

Curl up your toes

A piece of your escape

Is crawling through a maze

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

Embedded in your wings

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

Laced up in all your things

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

When you bent for a king

Silver silver silver silver silver strings

Silver silver silver silver silver strings

Didn’t want to go

For sure

Held your lines

Till they begged for more

Oil skidding down your waist

But you’ve got your silk and lace

Didn’t wanna compromise

So you had to sell your lies

You said this was just a phase

But you can’t help that it pays

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

Embedded in your wings

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

Laced up in all your things

Silver strings

You’ve got those silver strings

When you bent for a king

Silver silver silver silver silver strings

Silver silver silver silver silver strings
