"She's A Handsome Woman" lyrics

"She's A Handsome Woman"

(Go on)

Innocence sunk the glow and drowned in covers
Send for all your absent lover's things
Sheepish wolves looking lived-in, eating buttons
Wink, just don't put your teeth on me
(Go on)

Accidents let the evening in the back door
Filled the room, ceiling to the floor
Beat backbones grazed the poem and made it strange
I wasn't born to be a skeleton
(Go on)

Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on)

Jealous orchard, the sky is falling off the ceiling
While I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar
Reverie, it's useless searching in the cupboards
When everything you have is on your back
(Go on)

Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on) Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens

Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on) Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens
(Go on) Film the world before it happens

The title of this song was inspired by producer Rob Mathes, who described a girl he had seen once.
Ryan Ross told about the creating process of this song in an interview with VH1, "I came in to the library one night and Jon was playing drums. I just picked up the guitar and started playing the opening riff, and we all really liked the feel of it. We finished it within two days. It was one of the fastest songs we've ever written. We wanted to capture the rawness of it. On the record, it doesn't sound perfect."
The line "I wasn't born to be a skeleton" can be a reference to Arthur Rimbaud's poem "The Foolish Virgin": "I am a widow… – I was a widow… – ah, yes, I was really serious once, and I was not born to be a skeleton!"
