Katrina's Fair Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Greta's cedar hope chest 

Is full of pamphlets 

Glass shelves of romantic vignettes 

A journal laced with sedimentary prose 

Norma gathers and collects vintage photoplays 

Hair combs valentines 

Lillian allows the animals to scratch 

Leather crack 

Mail collect in the box coatings peel 

Agnes veiled cathedral dweller 

Smiles with benevolent pain 

It's Katrina's fair Tuesday morning 

As she with caution unlatches the flat door 

She alone cascades to the basement 

Careful not to spoil her 

Calico printed pinafore 

Composite traits mannerists 

All others dissipate 

Marguerite vigilant dwells upon frigid casements 

Sarah's thoughts in the velocity 

Accusations always pierce and pass 

Clara abandons her passions for distastes 

Miss Lenora p. Sinclair 

Early for coffee in the pool 

"I'm resituating all your words" 

Capital 

Space 

Colon 

Paragraph 

Sylvia keeps beasts in jars labeled 

Kingdom phylum class order family genus species
