Dorothy

lyrics

Dorothy shaves
Two times a day
Takes pride in her appearance
Takes a deep breath
And prays to the mirror
To be merciful
And treat her kindly
It may look like vanity
But that’s only part of the truth
Under her clothes
She’s the queen of tattoos
Stumbling around in borrowed shoes
Dorothy walks with eyes down
Trying not to draw attention
To the small details
That don’t quite fit
It’s a unified impression
She’s trying to give
It may look like nervousness
But that’s only part of the truth
For deep down
She’s breaking the rules
Laughing each time she fools you
And she fooled you good this time
You’re keeping your pretences
While I cultivate mine
If they knew what you kept in your closet
Would your girlfriends still be girlfriends?
There was a man
Who wanted to feel
What it was like to be you
With your powders and paints
Your eau de cologne
Be the careful scheme
Behind the floral show
And it felt like violation
And almost better than sex
It felt like the best and the
Worst of all worlds
Like birthdays and Christmas
And Armageddon
You want to get drunk and celebrate
Then cry and let the makeup run
