~
Taste the scalding first sip of another cup of coffee,
skip the morning news.
Paperbacks for lonely hearts; is it only her who doesn't see the appeal?
Hums a little ditty as she tries to dry the polish on her bitten nails.
Perfumes up a blazer that could really use a forty-spin,
and much more love than she's about to give...
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
Kiss with kismet - hoping - what's a silly girl to do,
but lucre best each day?
Flying high, she's lying low; one, two, hop, skip, jump or break her mother's back.
Slips another nameless in her diary for tonight,
Matthew, she'll give you rest.
Scrumples up the paper; she can't stand to know the other ways
that people just like her get through the day…
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
We wear her heart; are we
all inside her head?
Ensouled but not consoled
by fantasy.
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
Taste the scalding first sip of another cup of coffee,
skip the morning news.
Paperbacks for lonely hearts; is it only her who doesn't see the appeal?
Hums a little ditty as she tries to dry the polish on her bitten nails.
Perfumes up a blazer that could really use a forty-spin,
and much more love than she's about to give...
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
Kiss with kismet - hoping - what's a silly girl to do,
but lucre best each day?
Flying high, she's lying low; one, two, hop, skip, jump or break her mother's back.
Slips another nameless in her diary for tonight,
Matthew, she'll give you rest.
Scrumples up the paper; she can't stand to know the other ways
that people just like her get through the day…
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
We wear her heart; are we
all inside her head?
Ensouled but not consoled
by fantasy.
But has she broken?
Has she crashed?
Has she emptied
like a shot glass?
Or is she stranger
than her bedfellows?
Will she live and love through this?
