about

Written for FAWM (February Album Writing Month) 2021.

lyrics

Paterfamilias sprawled in a pool of blood
Letter opener, envelope, and a whiff of smoke
The mild detectives lean into the mystery
And I think, "God, how I wish that were me"

Waxing my mustache just like Hercule Poirot
Until it's time to tear it off and I'm back in my real life
My billowing sleeves don't fit into my overcoat
I'm a failed milkmaid, my bread is dead,
Flat hair and deflated loaf

Agatha Christie, queen supreme of cottagecore
I wanna get cozy, I wanna get nosy
Investigate in my plus fours
Agatha Christie, you make murder sound so cute
I wanna bake bread, wanna wake the dead
Just to clarify a red herring or two,
Agatha,
Agatha Christie

So I'm gonna read a book about it
Picture brains blown out among the rambling roses
Hydrangeas hiding the killer at the kitchen window
I guess I'm gonna fantasize
Strawberry pies full of cyanide
Double cream and the tantalizing dream
Of being killed among ~aesthetic~ grapevines

Agatha Christie, queen supreme of cottagecore
I wanna get cozy, I wanna get nosy
Investigate in my plus fours
Agatha Christie, you make murder sound so cute
I wanna bake bread, wanna wake the dead
Just to clarify a red herring or two,
Agatha,
Agatha Christie
