Arbor Day — 10000 Maniacs
Music: Natalie Merchant/Lyric: Natalie Merchant
Wide open falsehood The clan destine truths Rival till the end In a series of duels Pardon the drapery language i choose
Waltz in vienna has taught me to use Every tall room a fiction Leather bound treasure books Up to the ceiling Gold spine upon spine
The guile and the treason The faith and allegiance
Wide open falsehood The clan destine truths Rival till the end In a series of duels Pardon the drapery language i choose
The author grew fat to imagine His lead pen careening Gave voice to the scheming An aryan cabale to dethrone
The guile and the treason The faith and allegiance To the empire unknown
The baron and his mistress Dine in fine banquet hall As rebel insurgents plot in The attic space crawl
Wide open falsehood The clan destine truths Rival till the end In a series of duels Pardon the drapery language i choose
His small hand did strive To explain all the Rants and raves of A people enslaved
By the cant of the shrewdest Capable men
The guile and the treason The faith and allegiance Now lie in my hand
The guile and the treason The faith and allegiance Now lie in my hand
