Destroyer - Melanie and Jennifer and Melanie Lyrics

Some things we simply must stand for
Power goes to the chords and such
A stately whole note as yours
At least widely touted as such

Some things we simply must stand for
Power goes to the chords and such
A semi-precious half note as yours
At least highly regarded as such

But Melanie "went gold"
She won't accept your best wishes anymore
And Jennifer, your halter top, a consecrated altar, but
I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there
One too many times
And what, specifically, about me made you choose
To occupy the most absent stage of beauty
So complete, and so serene, and so sweet?

You'll be new at what you do for a long time
Still, victory isn't mine
I've traced your every move then erased them
With a cartographer's drunken haste
You'll be new at what you do a long time
Still, victory isn't mine
I've traced your every move then erased them
With a cartographer's drunken haste

But Melanie "went gold"
She won't accept your best wishes anymore
And Jennifer, your halter top, a consecrated altar, but
I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there
One too many times
And what, specifically, about me made you choose
To occupy the most absent stage of beauty
So innocuous, so complete and so

But Melanie "went gold"
She won't accept your best wishes anymore
And Jennifer, your halter top, a consecrated altar, but
I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there
One too many times
And what, specifically, about me made you choose
To occupy the most absent stage of beauty
So innocuous, so complete and so sweet?
