The Passage Of The Black Gene Lyrics - I Aubade - Elvis Perkins

I saw a woman 

out in the evening 

going her Mary way 

up a city block 

Stricken by a strange pose 

bent out of shape 

the pose of a puppet 

master gone 

Looking up and in 

to a light across the road 

she froze for a moment 

then moved on 

Dada da 

dada da 

dada da 

When I came to 

where she'd been 

I looked around for a mirror 

and found in its place a billboard 

Beaming down a model 

in the echo of her body 

selling, no yelling, yelling 

the black jean 

And looking up and in 

to the light across the road 

I froze for a moment 

then moved on 

Dada da 

dada da 

'Take it off of me 

We'll live this way forever 

I'll make you the fairest babe 

that's ever been' 

Dada da 

dada da 

dada da 

dada da 

dada da 

dada da
