Penelope – Of Montreal

Origin of my learning of the word lithograph

Lyrics:

Penelope, shoot the apple off my head

I need to go to the store

To get some sleep

Because I’ve run out of sleep

The rowboat came so David stopped arguing with a mime

And waved his arms like wheat

But when he tried to speak

The Prince of Plum fell through the roof of his mouth and handed David an envelope

Inside was a letter that read

“Sir, you were given this envelope by mistake, please disregard it.”

Nicolynn, shoot the candle off my head

I need to go to the store

To get some beets

To rub all over my feet

Andy’s joke reminded Gerard

That his sloth balloon was owned by Turkish moths

Gerard’s Lebanese boss had sent him out on business

Giving his word that he would keep it locked in the safe

But it was all deceit

Cause once he had the sloth balloon

He traded it

To the moths for

A lithograph of “Lady Lamenting on a Lawn Chair”

What interested Balabanoba was building complicated French machines designed to better enjoy the duchess

And she himHe helps her in the stirrups then he straps himself in

They spend their days in heights of ecstasy

But wait

Why then does she look so sad?

Why is her countenance so glum?

Does she tire of mechanical hands?

Or is she pining for the fair Prince of Plum?

Lulubird, shoot the doorbell off my head

I need to go to the store

To get some treats

For Gothe, Becket, and Keates

The characters of “The Gay Parade” formed a boys choir with Static and the Red King

But whenever they sing all postal workers simultaneously whisper to themselves the word calendar

Calendar
