Dauphine - Gabriel Rios

Seventeen

A nymph if there was ever one

You were noticed

And rushed upon the scene

Rough times

Some hell to get away from

And whirlwind

To do the very thing

Once again

A trick of the light found

And burned at the beat

Those we’re in

Will trickle down their songs

And burn at the beat

Ever the locust

You tore across the avenues

And hotels

With death under your feet

The sullen

Girls that look like women

The gregarious gamines

Leaving pictures on all magazines

Once again

A trick of the light found

And burned at the beat

Those we’re in

Will trickle down their songs

And burn at the beat

With all eyes upon you

And no one could see it

The exoskeleton is all they see

So leaving it…

We revel in the poses yeah

We do the best we can

The snakes will sing to horses

And the horses back to men

And you will know and i will know

To leave the state we’re in

Again

Once again

A trick of the light found

And burned at the beat

Those we’re in

Will trickle down their songs

And burn at the beat

And burn at the beat

And burn at the beat

And burn at the beat

The exoskeleton is all they see

So leaving it

Behind

Who knows what

You’ll find

This time…
