Dalian Shied Away lyrics

Wanda won the fashion show three years running Her mandarin dress heirloom from her mother And her lightened skin and straightened hair were stunning Across her victorious seafood supper, she saw a young man, dapper And asked if he would meet with her some time Afraid to turn her down, aware of her new crown He took her to the poshest place in town She still was not aware that he was not a wealthy man His measly zoo-worker's wage destroyed by just the starters page He asked her to excuse him a short while Dalian shied away Through the bathroom window he made his escape He tore his rented suit, had to leave his borrowed shoes Grazed his arm and broke the latch along the way He'd merely snuck into the fashion show this year As a challenge and a wager from a peer His previous convictions and his ketamine addiction denied him entry legitimately So dalian shied away And started typing his life into a play Called 'dalian shied away' But he never finished, only ever got half way
