Antarctica Starts Here Lyrics by John Cale

Antarctica Starts Here Lyrics

    The paranoid great movie queen
    Sits idly fully armed
    The powder and mascara there
    A warning light for charm
    We see her every movie night
    The strong against the weak
    The lines come out and struggle with
    The empty voice that speaks

    Her heart is oh so tired now
    Of kindnesses gone by
    Like broken glasses in a drain
    Gone down but not well spent
    The road from barbary to here
    She sold then stole right back
    The vanity, insanity her hungry heart forgave
    The fading bride's dull beauty grows
    Just begging to be seen
    Beneath the magic lights that reach from
    Barbary to here

    Her schoolhouse mind has windows now
    Where handsome creatures come to watch
    The anaesthetic wearing off
    Antarctica starts here
