Jade

You're never a girl, that curses and blasts, in fact you twirl, face like a stone, when you’re harrassed, count to ten fead slow, don't bother with furs, or men who feel trapped, just rattle your pearls, listen to their stories, sigh at their collapse, life's not their own, your head in a whirl, a silken scarf for class, say a little prayer, cry on the doorpost, drink wine aghast, ask what they want most, the worm always turns, you cook with gas, your flags are unfurled, everything will pass.

Isla

Just a little twist, forget about the wrangle, those who like to give, your search for the spin, dangles like a spider, shaking in the wind, in the way you kiss, makes my eyes tingle, from those bitter lips, so close to the trim, the nearer your jangle, wrestles any business, you have less to give, than even you imagine, sailing on the Isthmus, blue lines die to live, instead of being tangled, hoisted to your jib, why bother to insist, shockes at always single, is nothing to resist, tie me to the shingle.

Harley

You can swear and blow, it's always in your game, you better not come home, have to face the ruin, worry what's your escape, you're fooling no one, are you the rolling stone, or just some broken gate, who never blows a note, choice better come soon, lying drunk on the pave, everything sad about you, too close to the bone, won't survive the blues, last one to be alone, forget about the looks, you'll always need loans, it will end with fools, too cool to roam, nothing else to gain, no knife to your throat, don't come by again.

Gloria

Gone is the time, he looks right through you, his Ma and Da's real crimes, life doesn’t make it easy, walls he can’t go through, finding nothing that eases, even new clothes cashmere fine, won’t stop the blues, each yearly hint of Why, he doesn’t do breezy, hopes to diagnose the truth, hates the way they leaked, the time he spent inside, uses it like a book, to figure out their minds, he shakes the car keys, acts like still their mule, each day is no Odyssey, you’re just next in line, to tell him what to do, ditch that sweet line, see the real fools.

Frankie

Parade all the while, while you’re on bail, raise a homely smile, in your creaky bones, you’re not here to stay, can't wait to be alone, you left me to die, on your holy grail, said don't waste my time, don't think you can atone, your lies always fail, hanging like a scarecrow, flip a coin to the sky, talk of hoisting sail, you'll never ever fly, drink wine from a cone, bin some desolate mail, try to tame your ghosts, what it means to cry, finds you out this way, brains that are wired, worse than any jail.

Ella

A cracked dirty room, offers no insight, to see how you look, this is no model game, a race out of time, who holds the reins, don't act like a fool, over toasted lies, understand the doing, when eyes feel pain, burn bright as fireflies, let others go their way, find stuff that's cool, you’re churning inside, face up to that duel, when they ask to play, show them the dice, blow on them the same, eschew goody good shoes, enjoy moments of fame, no need to be cruel, you'll feel great.

Dorothy

A smile on his face, he says he’ll carry on, can’t turn away, a horizon once bright, he'll navigate the bones, whatever path is right, he could take a plane, where love comes from, it once flew his way, the gesture's not kind, he could cry but won't, how can you make light, why love works this way, he’ll never understand, not here on the runway, within a city's sight, there's hardly a sound, his eyes question why, bets he cannot make, won't take him far, nothing more to gain, just go back home.
