Said she gonna shatter to a million bits
Said the magic mirror don′t know half of it
Madam Iron Butterfly you're fragile businessFalling down them London bridges
Something gonna trip you up eventually
Someone gonna criticize your masterpiece
Suddenly you find you′re in the minor key
And beauty becomes altered beast
She thinks she must have swallowed a glass piano
The pregnant pause the fatal flaws compound
And maybe love is settling on someone that can stand you
Your unpaid debts your damages
This argument of doubt
It's you and your glass piano
It's you and your glass
I get pretty taken with sonata form
I don′t mind the faking if the body′s warm
I can feel you shaking in a thunderstorm
Scared the sound might do you harm
Leave you as a busted pile of cluster chords
Caught in the percussion of the closing door
Hunger is the wolf that finally eats itself
You tremble towards the treble clef
She thinks she must have swallowed a glass piano
The sunset clause that falls upon the concert grand
And maybe love is settling on someone that can handle
Your house of straw, your voodoo doll, your leaning tower
And the weight gets unbearable
And the tear becomes terrible
It's the thousand common shocks
That make this see-through music box begin to grow
It′s you and your glass piano
It's you and your glass piano
It′s you and your glass piano
It's you and your glass piano
