lyrics

WENDY: Signs of contemptible times!
BETSY: You still dance with an arm to your side?
WENDY: Our hands to be empty & still
asleep on the windowsill if it be your will--

BETSY: Is last winter's prize winning
Norwegian Forest outside!?
Could I try on your lilac dress?
Wendy? {{{light of my life!}}}}
(and you know the rest)

so I take from your stare,
you’ve got a lesson in there?
WENDY: Well they say the Institute made
a perfected replica blade for the Ancient of Days

BETSY: While you dial the priest I’ll tell Princess to try the police--
WENDY: We could start the 3rd World War!
BETSY: But then what good would scripture be for?

[An absence of calm in the air as the temperature fell
on the new concierge at the Carriage Hotel]
WENDY: Word has it the younger McKim girl’s not well...
BETSY: ...you remember that story with the mermaid and the actor?
WENDY: Betsy, the bones of the prophets we saw!
the mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall!
BETSY: [in grandiose tones, raising right paw
in Jacques Louis David Tennis Court Oath gesture]

All joking aside, five fingers wide,
should the bed of the bride be despair
tell your parents it’s true,
though I’d never physically hurt you,
I do know some Arabic prayers
but I left what was left of my self-respect
like a Swiss army knife on the ground
and a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint
by what some call ‘the Temple Mount.’

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 145 fans who also own “Wendy & Betsy”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
