Duchess - Neko Case

It’s your bicycle bells

And your Rembrandt swells

You’re children like

And still breathin'

It’s your look of loss

When you’re comin' across

Makes me feel like a thief

When you’re bleedin'

Duchess, Duchess

Light up your candles for me

Duchess, Duchess, Duchess

Put all the love back in me

It’s the Persian sea

Runnin' through your veins

You shed your names

With the seasons

Still they all return

With there last remains

And they lay them before you

Like breezes

It’s your shimmerin' dress

It says, no

It says, yes

It says, I’ve nothing left for concealin'

It’s your shapeless flesh

And your old girl’s grace

It’s your young girl’s face

That I’m breathin'

Duchess, Duchess

Light up your candles for me

Duchess, Duchess, Duchess

Put all the love back in me

I’m lying

She’s crying
