The painted faces congregate,
In the mating season,
To second homes,
They go alone,
In no rush leave 'em,
And there's a fountain,
And a scimitar,
Shaped yellow light,
And it picks you up,
And cuts you down to size.

The people there,
And the furniture,
Start to seem important,
And a whole lot more,
You catch the floor,
With a vivid and absortant sharpened arc,
Like the scimitar,
Shaped yellow light,
That picks you up,
And cuts you down to size,

Oh I had questions for the tap dancer,
Sat on my lap,
And she had child proof caps on her answers,
Stolen blower blow me a scone,
And show me that handsome enhancer,
She had a rock on her throttle,
And a brown glass bottle full of,
Shavings from the sun,
Although those shoes affect your step,
Don't forget, whose legs you're on.

There's a fountain and a scimitar,
Shaped yellow light,
And it picks you up,
And it cuts you down to size.

    General Comment:For some reason, this song sounds like it's about picking girls up at a club. "Painted faces congregate in the mating seasons". It sounds like a club. Painted faces would be girls with make up and guys with spray tans.. or something. Mating season is friday or saturday night, whenever people go home with others. "They go alone to second homes with no rush to leave them" It's a one night stand, and they leave in the morning. Fountain and Scimitar shaped lights are probably fallic imagery, meaning dick references. Anyway, all the nights events seem to make you feel good about yourself and you're having fun.. Then "cuts you down to size" is you realize the day after that there's no emotional connection in the hook up and it was just a hook up. People and furniture seem important. That one's probably meeting a new person at a club and what's to talk about? The people and the furniture.

    General Comment:Sounds a bit like ice skating:
    "You catch the floor,
    With a vivid and absortant sharpened arc,
    Like the scimitar"

    "Oh I had questions for the tap dancer"


    "Although those shoes affect your step,
    Don't forget, whose legs you're on."
