Philomena Lyrics - What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World - Decemberists

O Philomena 

you in a tawdry gown 

lean to your window 

let slip a ribbon down 

A cure to your boredom 

if only you'd let me go down 

down down 

Long summer days 

can lead to lazy vices 

Boys all at idle 

left to their own devices 

Open up your linen lap 

and let me go down 

down down

All that I wanted in the world 

was just to live to see a naked girl 

but I found I quickly bored 

I wanted more 

I wanted more 

So I'll be your candle 

I'll be your statuette. 

I'll be your lashing 

loop of leatherette 

O Philomena if only 

you'd let me go down. 

down down 

All that I wanted in the world 

was just to live to see a naked girl 

but I found I quickly bored 

I wanted more 

oh so much more

So I'll be your candle 

I'll be your statuette. 

I'll be your lashing 

loop of leatherette 

O Philomena if only 

you'd let me go down. 

down down 

go down down down 

go down
