Keyholes and Curtains

As long as we keep dancing, darling

And the words I say still mean absolutely nothing

You'll keep yours with him

And I'll keep mine hidden

Safe as houses

Behind keyholes and curtains

Lock the door behind you, darling

And box away those awful feelings

A new entry in your strained litany

Of things that make you hate your body

So save your breath, dear

You don't have to

Cause your weighted inflections speak volumes

And your cranberry cheeks betray you

So just keep yours with him

And I'll keep mine hidden

Two strangers bound by nothing certain

Hidden, safe as houses behind keyholes and curtains
