lyrics

6 • DON’T FORGET THE DOILIES

They couldn’t be more gracious
They couldn’t be more kind
A nicer couple, you’ll never find
And they remind me…
They remind me

The family photos everywhere
The “Welcome” pillow on the chair
The afghan on the sofa back
and in the hall a rack
to hang your coat and hat
Imagine that
Imagine that

Guest towels with embroidery
and bowls of peach potpourri
I know that I am bound for hell
because to me it’s just the smell
of rotting fruit
I feel the devil’s hot pursuit
I feel the devil’s hot pursuit

And don’t forget the doilies
Don’t forget the doilies
laid out with such care
and dolls Victoriana
Sweet kitsch Americana

Don’t forget the doilies
Don’t forget the doilies
Laid out with such care
She pets the dog
then strokes my hair

They couldn’t be more gracious
They couldn’t be more kind
A nicer couple, won’t come to mind
How did they find me?
How did they find me?

He proudly shows off
his display of guns
locked safely away
while Jesus hangs above the case
with resignation on his face
and wounds agape
There’s no escape
There’s no escape

The dog keeps scratching at my legs
For my attention he begs
He’s left his mark
upon my slacks
I smile and keep my hands
clenched behind my back
I don’t attack
I don’t attack

Don’t forget the doilies
Don’t forget the doilies
Laid out with such care
She pets the dog
then strokes my hair
She pets the dog
then strokes my hair

She leans in for a hug and kiss
with fingers caked in dinner mess
I know that I am bound for hell
I cringe from her and I can smell
the singe of hair
My queasy blanket of despair
My queasy blanket of despair
