Crooked Fingers Follow

She spread her legs and flew away
As if she had nothing to say
As if she had someplace to go
Among the broken crowd below
And though she never got concerned
A string of bad luck left her burned
She swallowed everything they sold
And then she swallowed herself whole
She spread her legs and flew away

She spread her legs and flew away
As if she had no time to waste
As if she'd left what she'd begun
A minor detail left undone
Then in mid flight she smashed a wall
That stood one hundred stories tall
Among the bricks they found her bones
And so she never made it home
She spread her legs and flew away

She spread her legs and flew away
Of this there's nothing more to say
She was not somebody that we know
We had been standing way too low
To see her fly by without fear
Through all the fanfare and the cheer
To watch the marquee brightly say,
She spread her legs and flew away
She spread her legs and flew away
