WHITE ROOM
lightly stepping out
of your hospital gown
you took the record off the table
and flipped it around
to say to me
how you wanted to be
and if pleasing the crowd
only’s been bringing you down
take a long hard look
at how this reveille sounds
and pray to be
how you wanted to be seen
it’s a centerpiece
that’s kept us running around all over town
as we try to slow it all down…
he can take half your home
and your poor mama’s loan
but he can never take away
how you’re holding your own
it’s a fire escape
down to the car you could take
and it’s never one and two
it was never me and you
now there’s so much less to be
and there’s so much more to do
you would die to be
how you wanted to be seen
stomped out since sundown
i prayed to California she was story bound
it’s a centerpiece
that’s kept you running around all over town
as you try to slow it all down…
