[Verse 1]
Spared, I've been spared
All the nickling, all the dimeing
Spared, I've been spared
All the powder on a trumpet of Gabriel
Don't play that song for me
You won't play that song for me
The riff with the swaddling hair
Those sisters who never broke us
And the link missing at the rear
And the halo, halo of locust
[Chorus]
Mama danced four feet away
Papa danced four feet away
In the rubbing and fusing
The sealing and pivoting
I gotta dance four feet away
[Verse 2]
Spared, I've been spared
All the handles a body could handle
Spared, I've been spared
All the powder on a Magdalene Mary
Don't play that song for me
You won't play that song for me
Those threads you would never wear
The sobbing that just might choke us
Those tooth fairies, wait till they get here
And the halo, halo of locust
[Bridge]
I love this season without its cleft
Left cross to the right foot
Right cross to the left
I love this season this very night
Right cross to the left foot
Left cross to right
[Chorus]
Mama danced four feet away
Papa danced four feet away
In the rubbing and fusing
The sealing and pivoting
I gotta dance four feet away
[Verse 1]
Spared, I've been spared
All the nickling, all the dimeing
Spared, I've been spared
All the powder on a trumpet of Gabriel
Don't play that song for me
You won't play that song for me
The riff with the swaddling hair
Those sisters who never broke us
And the link missing at the rear
And the halo, halo of locust
