Our Dearly Deflowered

from Black Owls by Black Owls

/

about

A song extolling the lost virtues inherent to the loss of virtue.

lyrics

Neat as a pin - alarmingly thin
she's waiting for some kind of ship to come in
On transom waiting
her egos deflating and patience is not of her virtue

it's social distress & oh such a mess
and the itches can't hide all the scratches
it's less than expected,
this one time neglected
is not what they said it would be

Oh dearly deflowered - this is not your finest hour
this playground that you built upon your gloom
for all your searching promise
they laid their hands upon
is not the end that comes too soon.

Fair willow hair, and not all there
& trolling through warm banks of shallow waters
her casts are predicted
they're easily picked
and the fisher has become the bait

and this one dishes precarious wishes
and one is as good as the others
but there are no mothers here
& there are no rules dear
the street's a filthy bed partner.
