Lyrics Destroyer – Holly Going Lightly

Text:

I was stark and I was ravening…
I was idle in spring, and it felt good…
I was fashioned after something made of wood,
That I shouldn’t have done…

Some girls got guns…
And some get into running favors for the Queen,
Like deciphering what it means when the band goes —
«DooRah DooRah DooRah DooRah!»

I was ‘bedsit’ and reviews were rave…
I dug your poetry a grave and it felt good…
I was modeled after something made of wood,
That I shouldn’t have done…
Some boys build guns…
And some get into running errands for the King
Like making out the words when the band goes —
«DooRah DooRah DooRah DooRah!»

Hey there, pretty flower…
Get yourself together…
Momma’s been looking for you,
But momma should know better.

I was silver… I was gold…
I watched Holly going lightly down the road…
