July dawn hangs in federal blue
Waking up again in yesterday's clothes
Your phone calls haunted with static ghosts
Too many tales for one wire to hold
And this moment has been coming since before you were born
And we're here to witness with the dolls on your shelf
And we hang here suspended in the long present tense
A paper dress pattern falls to the floor
No way to slip into the life that won't fit
And this moment has been coming since before you were born
When shaking the chemicals out of your bones
With All the card-playing women, all the thin-lipped men
And deep in the house the screaming begins
But this moment has been coming since before you were born
