lyrics to Rufus Wainwright's "Grey Gardens"

I love Rufus, and if I was younger he'd be someone I'd have an unhealthy infatuation with, just because he's so cute and smart and unavailable. During the trip I tried to figure out the words to this song, which I now see was a futile gesture. I grew up deciphering Elvis Costello lyrics but here I was overmatched. I would never have heard "Honey I'm a roller concrete clover" or "In between been dragging a dragonfly," though to my credit I did understand the word "dragonfly."
