Pantyhose

 Pantyhose

Pantyhose is the 1st song on TV Girl's 2014 album "French Exit"


[Verse 1]
Boys marching to war
To certain defeat
They were younger than me

Guns poke through the trees
Death on a whim
They were aiming at him

[Hook 1]
And when the bullets came, he didn't duck
He wrapped her pantyhose around his neck
And he could feel their magic working
Keeping him from harm
Away to some place mystical and warm
His lucky charm

[Verse 2]
He got caught
No cover at all
He'd breathe in her scent
Not even a scratch

He didn't die
When he stepped on a mine
They were violet and soft
It didn't go off

[Hook 2]
And when her letter came, he didn't cry
He wrapped her pantyhose around his eyes

And he could feel their magic working
Keeping him from harm
Even though she didn't love him anymore

You can't kill a lucky charm

This song was directly based on a section in the book "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, where a soldier named Henry Dobbins remarks on how he ties the pantyhose of his lover around his neck as a good-luck charm.
