Royal Canoe - Fabulous Mess

When you were young you fabulous mess
Wearing your makeup shaving your chest
No reservations

You dreamt of the opera mastered your poise
Sang to your mirror it loved your voice
Your aspirations

Where have they gone tonight?
Playing the ghost when I thought you'd arrived

Whatever came of moving away?
To sleep with a writer and star in the play
Your reservations

A decade of service what did it bring?
You don't touch your wife No you don't even sing
At Celebrations

How do you fall asleep?
Your bed bears a harvest you'd rather not reap

Do you still love Frederic Chopin?
Do you still dream about being a woman?
Do you still dance when no one's around?
Do you still talk about Prometheus Bound?

What did they take away from you?
What did they take away from you?

Remember when you spoke
All aloof like a thespian
You often wore baroque
And your friends were kind of lesbian
You keep it locked away
In a a jar in your basement
So put on those heels and cape
Sing a song for the nations

When you were young you fabulous mess
Wearing your makeup shaving your chest
You dreamt of the opera mastered your poise
Sang to your mirror it loved your voice
Whatever came of moving away?
To sleep with a writer and star in the play
A decade of service what did it bring?
You don't touch your wife
No you don't even sing at Celebrations
