It had been a hot day
We were in some southern place
And we'd been walking for miles
From that town to this place
When we got to the town it was Sunday
There was a festival
We went into the church
Because it was big and cool
And there she was
She was a triangle
She was triangular
Her head was a pinhead
Her hair was black lacquered and her cream cheeks cream
Her dress was crusty with flowers
She was lit by a thousand lights
Plastic candles glinting about her base
She had no arms or legs
She was robed from neck to the ground
Fresh paint on her oh so glossy face
And she was very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
She was very very beautiful
It had been so hot that day
The sun had got to my head
And I was sick and crushed to look at her
I was sick and cried to look at her
My tears were nearly catholic
Her dress was crusty with flowers
Her hands were painted on
Her face was super real
She was stiff
She was stiff with religious virtue
She was stiff with the thoughts of the watchers
Buzzing a furious field about her head
Her dress was crusty with flowers
She was lit by a thousand lights
She was triangular as wide as wide
Her head was a pinhead atop a radar station
All signals on and jamming
She was so wide you could not push her over
I had to fight her down she was so strong
And she was very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
She was very very beautiful
Very very heavy
Very very rigid
Very very plastic
Very very heavy
God she was heavy, so heavy
Took twelve men to lift her, twelve men to shift her
From one side of the church to the square
We could only stand and watch
From the thickest part of the crowd
For I had sunstroke and believed it
And there were the women in black
And there were the men in suits
All eyes all eyes all eyes
They knew a thing or two
These master-craftsmen builders
She was some heat conductor, lit by a thousand plastic lights
Crush of women pressing
All the lips were moving
I just stood I could not move
Her dress was crusty with flowers
You could not push her over
Her base was much too wide
And she was very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
Very very beautiful
She was very very beautiful
Very very heavy
Very very rigid
Very very plastic
Very very heavy
