A Song for Ellie Greenwich Lyrics by Parenthetical Girls

Entanglements

2008

[Verse 1]
Pressed unto us
Flesh still sickly sweet
With scents of love
But lost of this lust
Exactly what becomes of us
[Verse 2]
Just like me
They long to see you on your knees
But all these he-into-shes
Irreparably slow these hopes we've sewn
And so we forgo
What pleasantries we've grown to know
[Verse 3]
Hand in glove
For lack of the words, we called this love
But now they've cynical slurs to define what it was
That we have done
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
The tone that she chose shows
Mother knows what's become of us
And should I start to show
Well heaven knows we'll soon be sussed
False alarms—might I have meant to do you harm?
For somehow, I've found much to distrust
In what once ushered us
Through months of hurried hush
