The streets are lit up Gentleman are chained Old ladies faces are smokey Today and yesterday are the same We have tea from the common cup Will you find some change in your pockets Or do I dream on your lazy afternoon The room is cloudy The faces of ghosts are visible Maybe I have had too much ***** Or too much poetry She wears her spectacles for a change And looks around for the sign of the day The house is wearing a coat of laquer and depression It smells of turpentine in my room She may say there is too much trouble If I am sleeping and awake right now It's because the memories are raw From the night that passed with uncertainty I was on the edge of daintiness So I scrubbed the floor off blood Men chain me to the floor In wine lies the truth I have too many suitors and the fight turned violent Now I am left counting heads and the women nag me For a marriage of compromise They know I sleep on the floor If candlelight stays I reside by the bed With a book by Vonnegut They say don't turn your back to the enemy Now they call me an embarrassment to my family An oddball as I wear shoes upside down With heels faced upwards And the stilletoes non existent A service lady could be more in style Stemmed in hatred If they ask for betrayal they get it If you can't beat 'em, join 'em I run into a dark alley unknowingly They know I am unloved River deep and I am mountain high ****** as ice and as watery as Dali's paintings Smoke rooms and soda are clubbed together To make a perfect day Life is a series of perfect days now I wish I died sleeping
