Ellie

Signs to shy away from, we won't make sunset, hopes scattered and gone, the Director is due, he'll arrive by the jet, get ready to say thank you, fire and distant thunder, if we miss our targets, unfettered cry amongst us, beyond these daily blues, our days are well set, fights scatter the crew, they treat us with abandon, no matter what the bet, know we'll achieve Babylon, how the world snoozes, through its little tests, our party turns to fugue, on my sleeve’s a song, no one tells yet, to buy government bonds, smoke a cigarette.

Donna

Your house beyond the dunes, sea roses beneath the sky, nothing to bring you ruin, all my friends opinionate, you're a fashionable guy, better than the going rate, I ask God if he's immune, take this great love aside, ask if I'm being duped, fire burns in my grate, won't tell him how I cried, smoke rises off the slates, if it isn't me it's you, leaping in the tide, can't you see you fool, give me shades of grey, leave me hanging to dry, old lovers make the case, they ask about your blues, are you really that tight, why say you never lose, doubt is in their eyes ?

Callie

Do you remember the sea, the swell and the spray, our dance at Thebes, now the kids are flown, gone away, look after their own, can we see the beach, at the end of the day, all our loving in reach, every part of our home, is suddenly aflame, now we're alone, you grab my sleeve, pull me to the hay, all my troubles ease, by the windy estuary, I hold your face, it's so pleasing to me, on horizons like these, so glad I can pray, buy me ice cream, finish what we make.

Bonnie

he has such a giving way, he brings me champagne, on summer days, what can we do alone, without making waves, circumstances not our own, wine pours down my face, it’s like a healing, he cuts the Angel cake, we're never here or gone, don't even know the rate, we laugh at the unknown, choose to live not waste, our lives to no avail, call upon God to pray, we sail down the road, credit ticks on the slate, take trips on our bones, these the greatest plays, being not scared or tame, give us time to celebrate, the heart set ablaze.

Aria

Who hasn't thought, alone and perplexed, worrying what's bought, over a drink of wine, the burdens of text, birthdays or Valentines, all the stuff sought, betrayed by the vexed, consistently for more, forget scripts Online, who'll pop up next, sugaring sugary lies, generally divorced, wearing sharp kecs, looking overwrought, at the shopping mall, staring at bequests, don't give me a call, they click their jaws, who'll pass the test, supposed to be joyous, give me a rest ?

Zizi

The year he passed away, couldn't get past the blues, lay sunken day by day, I wouldn't be alone, didn't want anyone new, the street was my curfew, but you were an angel, I haven't got a clue, how you helped me sway, arranged the funeral home, introduced me to a few, put meat on my bones, before this game, I only thought of you, what you created, I started to condone, useless at cooking food, you made a different loan, what am I to you ?

Yaya

Champage is my baby, just love her burnt cheer, reminds me of the cradle, turns my city aglow, makes avenues so clear, I live in different bones, love is for my trade, we handle it without fear, let its bubbles float away , long journey's to the coast, nothing’s too dear, Bollinger with caviar toast, pick up some new names, we just need no fear, brio fashions all our forays, never willingly on show, no purpose served in tears, we are relaxed you know, anyone who says, there’ll always be tears, I raise my glass again, to these turbulent years.
