Q4 - Father John Misty

作词：Josh Tillman

作曲：Josh Tillman

Simone writes little of much consequence

Unless the theater's how you pay the rent

A new work of some semi-memoir sits

Inside the weekend book editors desk

And while they have not mentioned it

She must watch roses get thrown at less

Oh the indignity

It was just the thing for their Q4

Deeply funny was the rave refrain

It was just the thing for their Q4

It'll be on stands before the holidays

Her sister was not much long for this world

She danced as if a dancer danced as if

As if she had a body to sustain

As if an audience to entertain

This ironic distance kept her sane

While her vessel sailed away

These are the stories that we need right now

How could she compete

I'm sure she wouldn't mind

With a memory such as she

But who else than I

Leigh died so many months ago

Could write the story of her life

By now this tragedy's my own

Oh oh

It was just the thing for their Q4

Deeply funny was the rave refrain

It was just the thing for their Q4

It'll be on stands before the holidays

It was just the thing for their Q4

The film adaptation was a total mess

It was just the thing for their Q4

'Til she was outed for her privilege

It was just a thing for their Q4

Can't see her brother now unsupervised

It was just the thing for their Q4

Her family switched care right when she inquired
