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
