Lyrics: Tori Amos. Garlands (Bonus Track).

"the winged painter is on uptown" i said
"will you meet me to go to go to go..."
washington square i'm racing there to get you at noon,
oh the nocturne noon...
isabella on the way there stops me
i can't stay today
i'm off in flight towards another light. rest. youth.
washington square i meet you there and we go.
now he's on the run he's on the run
from this walking greeting card
and chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest
and phileda's lesson - we're not his possession.
in winter, trampled flowers
in winter lovers
circus, these garlands
the blue pirouette
the marriage, the mimosas,
black sun over paris...
these garlands - the little swallow,
st. paul from the window,
the half open window.
eve incurs god's displeasure, displeasure.
passion. odysseus and penelope,
ulysses and penelope,
the festival, in hell.
he's on the run he's on the run
from this walking greeting card
and chloe's kiss, the wolf pit, the wine harvest
and phileda's lesson - we're not your possession
in winter, lovers
in winter, flowers, trampled flowers
lovers, bay of angels, we're lovers
circus, these garlands
the blue pirouette
the marriage, the mimosas,
black sun over paris...
these garlands - the little swallow,
st. paul from the window,
the half open window.
in winter, the winged painter,
the winged painter.
washington square
let's go see a day in may
from the winged painter
