Melanie and Jennifer and Melanie

Some things we simply must stand for
 Power goes to the chords
 And such a stately whole node as yours
 At least widely touted as such
 Some things we simply must stand for
 Power goes to the chords
 And the semiprecious half-node as yours
 At least highly regarded as such
 But Melanie went gold
 She won't accept your best wishes any more
 And Jennifer, your halter top
 A consecrated altar
 But I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there one too many times
 And what specifically about me made you choose to occupy the most absent stage of beauty
 So complete and so serene and so sweet?
 You'll be new at what you do for a long time
 Still victory isn't mine
 I've traced your every move
 Then erased them with a cartographer's drunken haste
 But Melanie went gold
 She won't accept your best wishes any more
 And Jennifer, your halter top
 A consecrated altar
 But I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there one too many times
 And what specifically about me made you choose to occupy the most absent stage of beauty
 So innocuous, so complete and so sweet?
