Title Track Lyrics
All of the stage names evaporate
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late, to be far too dear or too cut-rate
Hold my hand again
Like at the lake
Hold that mirror, babe
Up to my face
Hear the whippoorwill?
Am I breathing still?
A Hollywood Babylon bike-a-thon for breakdancers all broken down in their beds
Now intravenously fed
From a bag hanging over their heads
Can I put you down for some miles?
What do you say?
Cause don't you know, it's going to be a long, long way
But if you've got the cash
I'm ready to bust my ass
So, take this thin broken down circus clown reject and give her the name of a queen
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?
She didn't look like no princess to me
But with the proper words
Bestowed
And with her morning shoot
Her evening clothes
Don't call her a prostitute
Well, she ain't one of those
Just call her a proper little statue
Come unfroze
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late, to be far too dear or too cut-rate
Hold my hand again
Like at the lake
Up to my face
Hear the whippoorwill?
Am I breathing still?
Now intravenously fed
From a bag hanging over their heads
Can I put you down for some miles?
What do you say?
Cause don't you know, it's going to be a long, long way
But if you've got the cash
I'm ready to bust my ass
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?
She didn't look like no princess to me
But with the proper words
Bestowed
And with her morning shoot
Her evening clothes
Don't call her a prostitute
Well, she ain't one of those
Just call her a proper little statue
Come unfroze

I'm sorry, the last line doesn't make sense. I tried to hear something else but that's all I could get.
"In New England, legend says the Whip-poor-will can sense a soul departing, and can capture it as it flees."
Just call her a proper little statue Come unfroze
down into their beds -> down in their beds Now intravenously feed -> Now intravenously fed
The last line makes sense. A proper little statue come unfroze, as in a statue who has come to life.
Good song
I've thought a lot about what I think this song means, and I think it's about celebrity and popular media. Especially the last verse, which reminds me a lot of the situation that I kept hearing about involving Britney Spears. Everyone seemed to be talking about what she was up to, what she was doing, there was a lot of bad language being thrown around about her (is it still that way?). I'd go on, but I'm having trouble making the case for it from what I understand in my head.
Or Shannon Wilsey.
