She had a name, she had a spirit,
she had a line in the play if you wanted to hear it.
But the master of disguises, her demise was her design, they said.
You'll remind me that I said you were
A quiet bed in all my noise to rest
Well I was charming you at best
And you remember, dear, when I said
My coming here was like a terrible fall
As we crept like thieves along your bedroom hall
I'd come down and touch your eyelids
But if you stay up too late I'll throw you back into the cupboard
With the chipped and dirty plates
Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring
Even if you win, even then you don't win
All I want is to want one thing
