lyrics

My girl is patient as she can be,
Watch as the candle light dwindles deep,
What did you say you wanted to be ?
A hopeless romantic for the century?

Neighbors will call her Caroline,
dreaming a dream that she'll never find.
"Where did you say you wanted to be?
The cover of Lady's Mercury?"

My girl is patient and petulant,
sits in a room full of Catholic,
watches a clock that never turns.
He hollers the name of a promised land,
the words go rotating but they never land,
always a nun who never turns.

In the corner they meet for a little tea,
conceiving a scheme to set her free.
"Where did you say you wanted to meet?
The Bishops quarters at ten to three?"

The word is a fire in a little town,
neighbors anoint a commissary,
"What did you think that you would seed?
The memoirs of fallen creed?"

My girl is patient and petulant,
sits in a room full of catholic,
watches a clock that never turns.
She runs to the doors in a hasty gale,
only to find that she'd just been framed,
always a dud who never learned.
