lyrics

Priscilla Whimsy, her psyche flimsy
Lives alone in a flat over the bookshop
She hordes used tissues and daddy issues
Gets her way with a smile and a riding crop
The customers never hear a sound
She spends her days waiting for the other shoe to drop

Professor Thompson can’t clear his conscience
But he can bare it if the right girl would just eavesdrop
Priscilla friended, and so he sent it
Once he started, he could never find the way to stop
The wrong move happened so long ago
He lies awake waiting for the other shoe to drop

She heard those voices, she made her choices
Left better parts of her scraped off on the blacktop
She said her regrets, tried not to forget
The way down is longer when you start out from the top
She’s learned hard to listen for that sound
Days spent waiting for the other shoe to drop
The wrong move happened so long ago
She lies awake waiting for the other shoe to drop
She lies awake waiting for the other shoe to drop
