Disappointing



Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rollercoasters and Earl Gray Malts
Hasta La Babies but not bath salts
Harvest moon in the arms of a tree
Which has been growing there for centuries

[Verse 2]
Bassoons, trombones and French horn sections
Bass clarinets and string odd collections
Owls and good [?] when they do not match
[?] with Kristen, Cheri, Tina, Amy and Rachel Dratch

[Chorus]
All these scenes are just disappointing
All these scenes are just disappointing compared to you
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile
as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
know you exist in this time, in this place

[Verse 3: Tracey & Grant]
The genitive case in German, it's true
Is something that I'm quite partial to
Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev
Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Vysotsky n Lev

[Verse 3: Tracey]
Francis Bacon, dolomites
Ballet dancers revolve without tights
Central Park on an autumn day
Will always be stunning and never cliché

[Chorus]
All these scenes are just disappointing
All these scenes are just disappointing compared to you
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile
as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
know you exist in this time, in this place

[Chorus]
All these scenes are just disappointing
All these scenes are just disappointing compared to you
There's nothing more beautiful than your smile
as it conquers your face
There's nothing more comforting than to know
know you exist in this time, in this place
