Great Hosannas lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aspirations / Flat Refusals
Childhood bedrooms / disapproval
Would-be authors / erstwhile singers
Costume jewlery / ballpark figures
Naked power / base excitement
True love’s call gone unrequited

[Verse 2]
Great hosannas / Sunday christians
Broken Spanish / postcard missions
Paid compassion / sponsored mercy
Renumerated soul searching
Wishful thinking / best intentions
Friendships based on chainlink fences

[Verse 3]
Silent partners / business ventures
Closet smokers / payday lenders
Rolex watches / walk in closets
Floodlights trained on open faucets
Great hosannas / grin and bear it
What ruthless men stand to inherit
