Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The painted faces congregate
In the mating season
To second homes, they go alone
In no rush to leave 'em
And there's a fountain and a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
And it picks you up and cuts you down to size
[Verse 2]
When people there and the furniture start to seem important
When a moment more, when you catch the floor
With a vivid and absorbent sharpened arc
Like the scimitar
Shaped yellow light
That picks you up and cuts you down to size
[Verse 3]
Well, I had questions for the tap dancer sat on my lap
And she had child-proof caps on her answers
Stone blower, blow me a stone
And show me that handsome enhancer
She had a rock on her throttle and brown glass bottle
Full of shavings from the sun
Although those shoes affect your step
Don't forget whose legs you're on
[Verse 4]
There's a fountain and a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
And it picks you up, and it cuts you down to size
