way out without the smokes the booze bravado pain killers anti-depressants the unrequited love of 20 yrs. and sugar…! wish I'd said yes to jesus no way out out to a comedy club tonite so not funny yet so funny c'mon mike nichols I know you're in this audience of 3 trudging home I stop a pack of cigarettes a pint of dewar's no way out but back? oh sweet jesus! THE GUITAR PLAYER'S LATEST GIG I'm stuffing the beer mug under my arm, stealing out the door when I spot you. Here at this know-nothing bar in this know-nothing part of Manhattan where I know nothing except the startling rush of your auburn hair, glint of a sweet silver necklace shimmers in your eyes like a stone. You want to be a stone: a Rolling Stone, a sophisticated star-studded stone, rolling away from this know-nothing bar in Manhattan, draped across a limo. Off to M TV, the Grammy Awards, Naomi Judd's next daughter. I know you - don't love me. I shelter that beer mug under my arm and cart it home. I really do hope that you get what you want, but I know you're not going to. [Index] |
