Betty/Bert Lyrics

Promise not to look at cameras, an embryonic queen, let me keep my clothes

Cacophonous, don't feel gorgeous yet, Betty assures "as long as you remember you're easy to dispose of"

Monotonous, like an idol I wept, laconic on the screen as I hold my pose

Providence, each angle obsessed with prying from our laps that which we refuse to disclose

We'll rendezvous as if he were a son of mine

Hastily the swingers return 'round 'bout nine

That ring on your finger like cold cobalt against my spine

That's what I'd have you believe so you never leave me behind

Frankly, I do not deserve your love

I'd rather linger and persist like a rabbit stuffed

Dangling or dancing, it's only to be your crush

On the stage or in the streets all I really want to do is make you blush

Congratulations Betty and Bert, the newlyweds.

There was blood on the balcony but it moved like a dancefloor with it we swayed until morning

The goblet ceased to flow or spurt, I don't want to hurt you Bert

The flash floods like a eulogy sawtoothed, spiked and smoothbore, the gray waters churning

The tablets pleased like show or sport, I don't want to hurt you Bert

Don't reminisce about the mask and the man you used to be

Won't insist but I might ask about the plans you have for me

Says "I cannot kiss you through this mask or repeat the decrees on the marquee

Won't insist but I might ask about what plans you have Chelsea"

We had already said, this would be the last time

We had already said, this would be the last time

We had already said, goodbye
