A cracked afternoon,
maybe offers some light,
makes me feel cool,
here in this game,
a race for your life,
it's who holds the reins,
don't act like a fool,
or try to be wise,
stop doing things you do,
if you're looking for gain,
heart thrums like a firefly,
let's look another way,
what makes it so cruel,
you're hurting inside,
being used like a mule,
if they ask the same,
try skimming the tides,
expose all their waste,
put on good shoes,
take a long train ride,
who needs to be ruled,
now you've chimed.

You're never a girl,
that curses and blasts,
your mind in a whirl,
face like a stone,
how you look your best,
too late to go home,
won't wear silken furls,
these men who want sex,
impassive as pearls,
they stalk you like ghosts,
prone to collapse,
can't face to be alone,
your hair doesn't curl
at what they ask,
their begging for a third,
you fling them a toast,
let them drink aghast,
forget what they like most,
say you cook with gas.

You can leave or show,
it's not too late,
if you want another home,
no need face the ruins,
worry about unkind fate,
you're no one's fool,
maybe a rolling stone,
kicks open a broken gate,
luck is when it rolls,
they'll arrive soon,
our family of escapes,
will mock all about you,
ask who you've cloned,
laugh at their stupid games,
what's your credit score,
don't mind their looks,
you're good for a loan,
refuse their Christian books,
play too cool to roam,
nothing else to state,
no knife at your throat,
love has a rebate.

Gone is the time,
i covered for you,
your Ma's the real crime,
why make it easy,
when she wants to intuit,
nothing will please,
clothes cashmere wine,
she spreads her false truth,
each step of the envy,
I don't do breezy,
why disguise the news,
she hates how I speak,
what you put aside,
she uses like a tool,
says it sharpens her mind,
shakes golden car keys,
uses you like her mule,
each day of your Odyssey,
I won't wait in line,
to witness her Blues,
I treated you fine,
who is the fool ?

What you can't find,
then think again,
we are not entwined,
don't go home,
there's too much pain,
keep what you own,
when you hear of crime,
stand in the rain,
say everything's fine,
drenched to the bone,
you're no angel,
know the value of chromes,
why try to disguise,
each day a fresh claim,
you show roll those dice,
can you trust the 'phones,
they'll perish your mind,
love's the real groan,
it just takes a Dime,
to book a fast train,
dance to a different time,
take no more blame.

Paraded all the while,
when you hit the trail,
you wave that last mile,
in your bones,
you don't need to say,
it's hard being alone,
you left me here to cry,
searching for that holy grail,
walking away all the time,
you can't atone,
when love forever fails,
making this country your own,
flip a coin see the sky,
will you risk the jail,
border crossings have no style,
drink wine from a jeraboam,
curse some desolate mail,
throw stones at my ghost,
what it means to try,
or even to create,
you don't have to lie,
its me who looks away.

He looks and barely treads,
his smile warm as toast,
when the oil is spread,
for all he's ever seen,
and also what he's shown,
there's no sense of ease,
his daily bread,
gathered all alone,
doesn't make him bend,
he's in love with scenes,
his canvas resin soaked,
always on his feet,
uses my lipstick instead,
not caring for loans,
he lights up my bed,
always loves the sea,
skipping waves make him joke,
he's an old has been,
his visions are dreams,
strikes a match for tone,
does he picture me,
my face unknown?
