I fall I fall On surfaces that Are ***** and damp and clammy and flat I fall and land, but curtsey and stand And while the crowds, they clap My dress, it hangs Over feet that cracked I am I am A tiny glass house And my heart it beats under a tightly wound blouse That accentuates my chest and shows off the rest But carves my bones and burns my flesh I wish I wish Upon a star That looks down on us And giggles from afar That crowds, and their parties and mirrors and reflections Could stop biting my heels and offering objections But since the world is just but a boat That everyone rows to stay afloat And since this sea ask only for performance I'll put on my dress and dance for my audience And as they clap as I fall but stand I'll whisper to myself a tiny demand That the next performance won't be so long And the dance and prance won't finish the song That when I jump my glass feet will shatter And I'll disappear from space and matter
