Anna
Her manner never cool,
many a life she’d shout,
has been unlistened to,
crashing like the sea,
an artist on the lookout,
she’s still pretty green,
doesn’t need a muse,
creates what's all about,
won't suffer fools,
she walks down the street,
give you anything she has,
throws anyone her keys,
lipstick lemon blue,
her skin golden brown,
hasn't been to art school,
instead a loving need,
those who haven't got,
brings a sense of ease,
provides our daily laughs,
smiles as warm as toast,
will always want to ask,
how is your soul?

Rain broken afternoon,
offers no insight,
or makes me look cool,
here in this game,
a race for my life,
wonder who holds the reins,
I act like a fool,
peparing what's right,
must stop what am doing,
now the eyes feel pain,
my head's like a firefly,
how did it get this way,
it all seems so futile,
I'm wasting my time,
my face a lost duel,
then someone brings wine,
says let's party again,
make for the beeline,
won't ask for new shoes,
jump in the fire,
dance like a mule,
scream until bedtime.

I'm never a girl,
who curses and blasts,
my mind in a whirl,
a face like a stone,
I'm built to last,
best that you count on,
don't treat me with furs,
are all men trapped,
want me in shiny skirts,
I'll waltz like a ghost,
dance until collapse,
my lies are my own,
your head's in a twirl,
any present will pass,
my prayers are always fair,
why cry at the doorpost,
drink green tea aghast,
ask what I want most,
please turn the flame down,
if you cook with gas,
say your heart's unfurled,
avoid any crash.

Does what you can't find,
make you think again,
crack open the blinds,
it's not worth it alone,
there's too much pain,
stay close to your own,
you'll soon hear of me,
standing in the rain,
saying everything's fine,
drenched to the bone,
are you house trained
in your torn worn clothes,
why try to disguise,
each day brings a claim,
it adds to the distance,
don't trust telephones,
shall we play at games,
love's got no real home,
just stay here tonight,
instead of a fast train,
then leave at first light,
we'll meet again.

Why dream of empathy,
sitting on a wall,
too drunk to speak,
time to raise the stakes,
risk being torn,
the useless dates he makes,
wait around for the seasons,
twist my crown of thorns,
am giving up on reason,
want kids about the place,
not being cast forlorn,
why does he need breaks,
don’t say I'm released,
like he's been caught,
running away to the sea,
provide a hand that shakes,
absence is his only call,
I slump and vacillate,
this isn't really me,
jellied to the core,
mouthing dumb tranquilities,
no one ever loved.

Parade all the while,
say you’re on the ball,
ride the lonely miles,
in your bones,
you’re not here at all,
no you are a Jonah,
you left me to die,
on your holy horse,
said we didn’t have time,
can you atone,
when love turns to gall,
must shame fill your bones,
flip a coin to the sky,
talk of beating the Fall,
no worries about style,
drink wine from a Jeroboam,
hide behind some desolate wall,
throw stones at my ghost,
what it is to cry,
we'll disregard your call,
you're not here to lie,
let others walk tall.

We drink for company,
God knows if we're right,
all of us need sympathy,
the front of house crew,
remain out of sight,
only come awake at noon,
just leave us in peace,
sipping for our lives,
cooking guides our being,
knives as sharp as new,
make each day bright,
have no truck with fools,
now he he says go easy,
don't ruin the fry,
nothing stands his scrutiny,
we're so happy and cool,
in the early light,
other's will arrive soon,
says he can smell the sea,
read messages from on high,
drink as much as me,
isn't this nice ?
