Here Lies Rachel Wallace

Lyrics

I started with the costume and I worked from there I don't know The tunnels and the tendrils buffet you along And you just go A course of cancellation Easy certainties and undertow Here lies Rachel Wallace, b66-d99 Overfed and undernourished She supported herself fine An Apian Way of cash machines scattering rose petals at your feet And singing sotto voce, "Don't forget me, bitch! I got your number! I brought you in—I'll take you out!" It's not dignified to speculate about the inner lives of celebrities I do it anyway (A drooling hagiographer in a proud nation of drooling hagiographers.) Fill that hole with prurience United in loneliness The line is stretching up the street, and just like you They learned to dress their wounds in perfume Here lies Rachel Wallace, b66-d99 Too soon old, too late whole She supported herself fine
