In the village of St. George
In the curfewed streets
It’s easy to meet one
Meet the girl of your dreams
But there she may shoulder
A burden beyond you
And so she leaves
The gifts from the drug store
The ones you need
The ticket with 134
The idiot seed
Well we’ve got plenty of money
To spend on these robes and rings
With no offering
Seems like age old
Green and great hope
For the jury
For this earthless jury
But in this longing grows
A supple and brilliant dose
Of what we need
In the village of St George
In the curfewed streets
It’s easy to meet one
Meet the girl of your dreams
And there she may shoulder
A burden beyond you
And so she leaves
