Greta Garbo (Some Say)

Greta Garbo turns and takes the world in
Some say she is a ghost
Others say she has a twin

A girl plays a toy guitar in a child’s room
Her song is long and blue
Her voice is strong and true

A marionette dances to an old tune
The umbrella man dresses all in black
Minneapolis ablaze beneath half a moon
The horses turn back

The mannequins in L.A. are on fire
The hymn books burn in the upper room
Of the church choir

Greta Garbo turns and takes the world in
Some say she is a ghost
Others say she has a twin
