Lyrics
The Baccarat tumblers have a certain weight
Sweating condensation on a cypress slate.
The wool on the chaise lounge smells of cedar and faint rain.
A perfect, load-bearing, architectural pane.
[Chorus]
This is the rental rate,
the cost-per-square of my straight face.
A quiet seam of transaction and place,
an hourly grace.
[Verse 2]
The linen napkins, Belgian, ironed flat.
Each fork is aligned on the water-hyacinth mat.
'Just keep the platters full,' a voice like silk.

and I don't know what I'm mending anymore.
[Chorus]
This is the rental rate,
the cost-per-square of my straight face.
A quiet seam of transaction and place,
an hourly grace.
[Outro]
Those Baccarat tumblers have a different weight
leaving water-rings on a cypress slate.
