Chess Street Lyrics by Met City

Stockholm Fancy

2015

Somewhere above with the eloquence of love is an alley cat that wears my name
So said the words that I gave in my address to the Queen
Just like a glove, a thorn it rips the leather, crimson drips past the monocle which wears your face
What is your saving grace? Some acrobats it would seem
At the wrong station every train’s a divination, every platform steals up both of your shoes
Will you explain the bruise right away with a sigh-or just cry?
Beaus to your bonnets and lads to the lace
Hearts are for dreaming eyelashes for chase
Love is a tendril, a leaf for support
I’ll drink all your wine but I’ll not join your court
Pixie dust, pinch a gust of wind I trust you will be drawn to another’s light
Arouse the urge to fight but would you spar with the King?
Another notion, on the wall you pen devotion, ink it threatens to fill the hall
We lost the protocol, three thousand dots on the screen
You’re gold and ready pick the cake now the confetti, swimming colors make the dance hall gleam
‘Til they arrive on the scene we’ll hide we’ll make it out clean-won’t we?
Beaus to your bonnets and lads to the lace
Hearts are for dreaming eyelashes for chase
Love is a tendril, a leaf for support
I’ll drink all your wine but I’ll not join your court
I count daisy petals when distressed I wear my best tie
Yesteryears’ hazy riddles were the smoothest this east or west of Chess Street
Islands of smoke for summer eloping, winter’s for coping with what wasn’t there
Beaus to your bonnets and lads to the lace
Hearts are for dreaming eyelashes for chase
Love is a tendril, a leaf for support
I’ll drink all your wine but I’ll not join your court
