The Verlaines and Husker Du

from Pale Fire by Charcoal Burners

/

lyrics

Cry wolf, you'll cry this too
As I sing this tune, 'The Verlaines and Husker Du' to you
Whom some of you may know
And some may not
Some may have only just forgotten

Cry wolf 'til you're turning blue
And The Verlaines and Husker Du leave you

You were waiting around for something
Did it come, and take you?
Did it wrap you up in arms
That choked you
As you were coming out of your shell, into your decay
Your today

Wish I'd never met you
Is wrong
It's wrong, but it might be true

That headland swings into view
Like a rush of The Verlaines and Husker Du
Like games you play just to lose
That The Verlaines and Husker Du taught you

As it was raining
As it was turning blue
The Verlaines and Husker Du deserted you
