the crack of november - the floating men lyrics

cotillions of fodder for millionaire′s daughters were dwindling down
we toasted our hostess and host and then flagged down a cab into town
a squall blew spanish moss across the road

with swarms of moths and charming orange leaves

we collapsed in back of the taxi
as lightning bolts fractured the clouds
thunder cracked and then crumbled to talus
somewhere deep underground
when i turned to pay the driver he was gone
i’m still not sure if he was ever even there at all

she compromised me
she traumatized me
she never apologized to me for the crack of november
she hypnotized me
with powdered herbs and clouded teas
if she ever apologized to me i don′t remember

squinty little sinister shapes in the shadows stirred
just out of sight
they scurried in the hedges and skirted the edges
of dread and delight
we kept hearing our own whispers in our ears
but every time we spun around we were gone

the heavens were rolling with boulders exploding
in showers of fire
voltage and static were crackling through frantic antennas and wires
i saw the angel of death land on the eave
he was shaking his head and just laughing at me

she compromised me
she traumatized me
she never apologized to me for crack of november
she hypnotized me
with incantations, charms and teas
if she ever apologized to me i don’t remember
i don’t remember

we spun to the floor at the door down a vortex of glorious stars
we cuddled in puddles of kisses and tunnels of glitter and sparks
our souls floated up overhead to give us room
they were smiling down from ceiling as we danced
the rats in the attic were scratching the rafters
and chewing the wires
we couldn′t tell the bats in the flue
from the music of lucifer′s choirs
and the clock kept flashing midnight all night long
i’m still not sure if she was ever even there at all

she compromised me
she traumatized me
she never apologized to me for crack of november
she hypnotized me
with spells and charming orange teas
if she ever apologized to me i don′t remember
i don’t remember
i don′t remember
