Margaret Vspauline Lyrics

Margaret Vspauline lyrics

Everything’s so easy for Pauline

Everything’s so easy for Pauline

Ancient strings set feet alight

To speed to her such mild grace

No monument of tacky gold

They smoothed her hair

With cinnamon
waves

And they placed an ingot in her breast 

To burn cool

And collected

Fate holds her firm in its cradle

And then rolls
her for a tender pause to savor

Everything’s so easy for Pauline



Girl with the parking lot eyes

Margaret is the fragments of a
name 

Her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake

Of a
make believe monster whose picture was fake

Margaret is the fragments of
a name

Her love pours like a fountain

Her love steams like rage

Her jaw aches from wanting

And she’s sick from chlorine

But she’ll
never be as clean

As the cool-side-of-satin Pauline

Pauline



Two girls ride the blue line

Two girls walk down the same
street

One left a sweater sitting on the train

And the other lost
three fingers at the cannery



Everything’s so easy for Pauline

For Pauline

For Pauline
