Antarctica Starts Here (outtake) [Strings] Songtext

Antarctica Starts Here (outtake) [Strings] Songtext
This is Antarctica
The paranoid great movie queen sits idly fully armed
The powder and mascara there, a warning light for charm
We see her every movie night, the strong against the weak
The lines come out and struggle with the empty voice that speaks
That speaks
Her heart is oh so tired now of kindnesses gone by
Like broken glasses in a drain, gone down but not well spent
The road from Barbary to here, she stole and sold right back
Her vanity, insanity, her hungry heart forgave
The cleaning lines beauty now just begging to be seen
Beneath the magic lights that reach from Barbary to here
Her schoolhouse mind has windows now
Where handsome creatures come to watch
The anaesthetic wearing off
Antarctica starts here
The paranoid great movie queen sits idly fully armed
The powder and mascara there, a warning light for charm
We see her every movie night, the strong against the weak
The lines come out and struggle with the empty voice that speaks
That speaks
Her heart is oh so tired now of kindnesses gone by
Like broken glasses in a drain, gone down but not well spent
The road from Barbary to here, she stole and sold right back
Her vanity, insanity, her hungry heart forgave
The cleaning lines beauty now just begging to be seen
Beneath the magic lights that reach from Barbary to here
Her schoolhouse mind has windows now
Where handsome creatures come to watch
The anaesthetic wearing off
Antarctica starts here
