lyrics

The shining orbs above me as I drive across the overpass
Remind me of Bette and the chickens in their hut
And I would circumscribe these memories
But this one’s an evacuee
I couldn’t keep the doorway shut

You ask her how she’s doing and “so-so” is the answer
Her father’s the manufacturer of the nations safest bus
She was a contestant on that reality TV show
But fate just roars and lands a blow
We’re all so presumptuous

What can I prove in a daydream?
She said, “I don’t want no, I don’t want no,
I don’t want no heartache” [sic]

Her mother felt like chattel so she gathered up her atoms
And went to join a commune with two Gamma Eta friends
And life is just a battleground
Like stumbling through an unlit town
And only a ___ wins in the end

Motor my way, going home now
The memory, this jubilee, will jut into my headspace
She said, “I don’t want no, I don’t want
won’t tolerate no heartache”

Now there’s just one more item on my list
