lyrics

Porcelain (The Last Queen of Vietnam)

Why don't they turn these crowds away
I'm not in a vitrine on display
Not an ivory curiosity

Bring me my morning baguette
Bring me Mulberry
I can weave this silk myself
My thumb is hard
I'm not made of ivory, not a curiosity

They think me feeble
For I was born royalty (a Queen)
They think me useless
Corseted charlatan/Ornamental Charlatan
Idiots I'm iron in every tendon and crossbeam
A perfect scheme
Not mere porcelain

My fist is pulsing now
Your flesh it's desiring
Remove the veil
You'll not find me quivering
There's no modesty
In my ferocity

Where is my way out?
My way out of here?
