Meet Me At The Mannequin Gallery

Song Meet Me At The Mannequin Gallery
Artist Cass McCombs
Album Humor Risk

Lyrics

The Secretary
Said the prices vary
To cast in one’s image
So I made the pilgrimage
She told me a story
About the
Model Lady
Whose features were subtle
She wanted her own model
The story continued
The Secretary enthused
How making the
Model’s model
Gave her staff trouble: “
You see, she had no features
Her face was smooth and clear
So it was very difficult
To sculpt an accurate result” “
But that is why we
Think some people have
Beauty” Said the
Secretary “
At least this is my theory” “
Because they are featureless
Anyway, it caused us some stress
And we charged her according
To the time that was put in”
Then I wandered the warehouse
Among hundreds of models
And fiberglass aroma
Out there in
Pacoima
