lyrics

You came dressed in full costume
To your first outing in months
You didn’t want anyone to see
The real shape you’re in

Under scarves and tack-on lashes
A mammal thread with arms
You look like a sitcom star
Attention poor and crowd-deprived

This is not some backdrop dive
And the scene being poured
Is not a put-on prop device

Mary Tyler Moore can take a cab
Across Chicago in the rain
And Gene Wilder’s on a train
To some less candy-colored scape

Are you holding on to the rails?
Did you have a hand in mind?
Is there a difference when the sun is coming up?

This is not some backdrop dive
And the scene being poured
Is not a put-on prop device

Marmalakes Austin

Marmalakes is the Austin, TX, group led by Chase Weinacht and Josh Halpern, lifelong friends whose spirited intensity leaps from their recordings and performances.
