lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Heroes would've fought for you
And poets would've thought of you
Had you lived back when they did those sorts of things

And seeing as how I long for you
I thought maybe I'd write a song or two for you
If I could only say your name

Now, I know you said you couldn't
But does that mean I shouldn't tell you?

Ladyland died that afternoon
Before your Pulitzer eyes and those of a drunken lunatic
Or maybe he was just in love

Ladyland fell beneath our feet
Not long after a waltz we wreathed

As if it was a one-sided Japanese love suicide
As if it was a one-sided Japanese love suicide
As if it was a one-sided Japanese…
