of my elementary school a santa cruz cafe, a new york subway even jim morrison's tomb and it's spoken out loud when i'm shoppin' today i was at mollie stone's this guy walked right by me, said "pretty redhead" then expect me to follow him home... someday i'd like to teach those guys manners to write a poem to a girl instead something like "winter is fallin' and springtime is hummin' and i'd sure like to be in your bed" and i wonder how the old man is feeling as he sits on his bench by the sea remembers when he was just a boy carving hearts into a tree... graffiti is written on highway signs from hartford to hollywood they keep tryin' to cover it throwin' white paint all over it i'd paint it too if i could i'd say "world, crazy world, how i love you and all that you've given to me the heartache, the breaks, the shivers, the shakes you fill me with ecstasy...” (c 2001 roberta donnay & joel jaffe) |
