Venus Kicked The Stars [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Venus Kicked The Stars
Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett

Lead Vocals by Scott Bennett

A hundred silver bracelets jingle round her tiny wrists
From her neck hung half a heart of braided gold and amethyst
She patched her multi-colored sackcloth fringy Guatemalan dress
Cuts the recipe in half and drinks a toast to no regrets

Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the stars

From out of the bathroom walked the only love of her life
Orange almond fur peppered with tiny flecks of anthracite
She emptied out the albacore from an aluminum can
Since she was a little girl she'd been taught to please her man

Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the stars

The stars collided shooting fragments into the night
Tearing up the atmosphere they opened holes of feral light
The darkness devoured it as the two began to fight
They laid without touching on a four post antique golden bed
He thought he should open up but closed his swollen eyes instead
The ceiling fan click clattered as it pushed aside the heavy air
After twenty years together loneliness is all they share

Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the stars (Venus kicked the stars)
Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the
Venus kicked the, Venus kicked the stars

Interpretation

She was a rich housewife who seemed to have it all, but she and her husband of twenty years would just fight at night and go to bed crying, lonely.
