mother hips - precious opal lyrics
would you like to come down to me from your town above the line?
i saw an omen that you were coming and i do believe it’s time
precious opal, queen of gems upon a frozen marquee sign.
when you first moved to your room way up on power station hill
and you fell in with a man who had a lunchbox full of pills,
i asked for you portfolio but you gave me your high heels.
it’s deciding when’s the last time that’s the trouble.
it’s not over if you plan to try again
and i hope this does not scratch your mirrored surface,
precious opal, queen of gems.
two winters p-ssed and through them both a hurricane did tear
and it sent some strong men running and it threw houses in the air
and it left a shining opal sitting naked in the air.
your front teeth had been damaged in the strangest kind of thing.
you chipped them during a frantic delivery of kisses to the king
and you handed me a b-tterknife and said you were hanging by a string.
i went down to a funeral on salem street this morning,
all the cars in the procession painted white.
you know i felt a little bit underdressed but i decided i had to go inside.
i asked an old man that was standing by the coroner the name of the man that died.
he told me his name but i didn’t quite hear him,
and i decided that that was alright.
do you remember when we tried to wet the bed all night and you couldn’t do it?
i hope this does not scratch your mirrored surface,
precious opal, queen of gems.
