She orchestrates her life
With organization
And control
Ands let's not one problem
Slip into place
And she cleans her spotless room
To prepare for the company
Coming over
And she takes precisely
3 CDs
And scatters them artfully
On her desk
To make the room seem
Lived in
And less perfect
As she tries to mask
Her loneliness
And separation
That gusts just strong enough
To shake the timbers
But leaves the foundation
Still standing

She orchestrates her life
With organization
And control
Ands let's not one problem
Slip into place
And she cleans her spotless room
To prepare for the company
Coming over
And she takes precisely
3 CDs
And scatters them artfully
On her desk
To make the room seem
Lived in
And less perfect
As she tries to mask
Her loneliness
And separation
That gusts just strong enough
To shake the timbers
But leaves the foundation
Still standing
