she's a beauty queen
my sweet bean bag in the street
take it
down out to the laundry scene
don't know why she's in my head
can't figure what it is
but I lie again

IMPROVS

If you see the Fire-Eater�s wife
tell her I heard what she said that night
what would this world be like
what would this girl be like
without Nasty girls
without Warm words
without little wounds
Saw the Baker�s wife
she told me
�you gotta find The Monkey Tree�
heyheyheyheyheyhey

she�s a beauty queen
my sweet bean bag in the street
take it
down out
to the laundry scene
don�t know why she�s in my head
can�t figure what it
is
but I lie again




"The wholeness. The record [Boys For Pele] starts off with the horses from Winter taking us and we ride. Going into that program of the beauty queen. She's a beauty queen, and that's not enough because it never is. The idea that beauty is our answer when we are four years old, oh, isn't she pretty... that's the first thing that you hear. So it's going after those programs of the feminine, going after them, going after them."
