Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Got a puckish little grin Playing poker with my sins Peek around like a periscope Through this glass of gin and hope [Chorus] I got those periscope blues Seeing everything Touching nothing at all In this sad triumvirate Me My shadow And the wall Yeah these periscope blues Show me every door I can’t walk through I’m a sly little queen in a paper crown Laughing while I’m sinking down [Verse 2] Three queens at the corner bar Past Present Future scars We make a crooked cabinet Sweet and mean A triumvirate [Chorus] I got those periscope blues Seeing everything Touching nothing at all In this sad triumvirate Me My shadow And the wall Yeah these periscope blues Show me every door I can’t walk through I’m a sly little queen in a paper crown Laughing while I’m sinking down [Bridge] I joke I jive I dodge the truth (oh) But the joke runs out of room Peek once more above the waves Then I dive back in my gloom [Chorus] I got those periscope blues Seeing everything Touching nothing at all In this hard triumvirate Me My shadow And the wall Yeah these periscope blues Paint the whole bad sky in navy and bruise I’m a sly little queen in a paper crown Laughing while I’m sinking down

Dusty electric blues trio; female vocals soaked in plate reverb, lazy swing groove and brushed snare. Verse sits low and sly, bass walking in half-shadow; chorus lifts with bent guitar notes and stacked call-and-response harmonies. Subtle organ pad swells in the bridge, ending on a held vocal run over a hanging IV chord., blues
