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 The link missing at the rear And the halo, halo of locust Mama danced four feet away Papa danced four feet away In the rubbing and fusing The sealing and pivoting Gotta dance four feet away 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 I love this season without it's 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 Mama danced four feet away Papa danced four feet away In the rubbing and fusing The sealing and pivoting Gotta dance four feet away
