Ode to Rejection - Lyrics - Faun Fables

Faun Fables is an American band from Oakland, California. Faun Fables is a concept and vehicle for Dawn McCarthy, who was inspired to write the original material while traveling after leaving the New York City music scene in 1997. Faun Fables also covers 20th century compositions by other song writers and traditional folk songs. The music on the first album is entirely by McCarthy, as are all lyrics and most of the music on Mother Twilight. All albums except for the first are collaborations with Nils Frykdahl, inspired by McCarthy's previous work and "Dawn the Faun" stage persona.

Now you boys with your courting Sparkline eyes a-shine Rejection, made me think of all I ain't A pearl of a girl to Johnny A rowdy old dame to Hank How can I hard But then I'm weak But them I'm boring But then I'm a freak You lovers... Hey, lay If I wasn't amused I'd be Celibate We met at the hoedown I yodelled quite a tune Began our loving At the setting of the moon I was ready to love you Probably too soon Took your sights as yessing Let my wilds bloom Well you liked me in the context Of the stage's magic glow O rejection It made me think of all you ain't A brave adventuring love You're one not suited for me 'Cause how can you be warm But then you're cold But then you want me But then you don't You lovers... I'll be on my way If I wasn't amused I'd be Celibate If I wasn't amused I'd be Celibate If I wasn't amused I'd be Celibate
