Wendy & Betsy - mewithoutYou

Signs of contemptible times!

You still dance with an arm to your side?

Our hands to be empty &still

Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will…

Is last winter’s prize winning

Norwegian Forest outside?!

Could I try on your lilac dress?

Wendy?

(And you know the rest)

So I take from your stare

You’ve got a lesson in there?

Well they say the Institute made

A perfected replica blade for the Ancient of Days

While you dial the priest I’ll tell Princess to try the police…

We could start the 3rd World War!

But then what good would scripture be for?

Word has it the younger McKim girl’s not well…

…you remember that story with the mermaid and the actor?

Betsy, the bones of the prophets we saw!

The mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall!

All joking aside, five fingers wide

Should the bed of the bride be despair

Tell your parents it’s true

Though I’d never physically hurt you

I do know some Arabic prayers

But I left what was left of my self-respect

Like a Swiss army knife on the ground

And a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint

By what some call 'the Temple Mount.'
