heard your name the other day
it's been a long, long time
ancient history, some would say
another state of mind
you smell of memory
felt tip electric child

she takes the plastic pill
she plays the weatherman
she screams "religion kills
more than it saves you, man"
she painted filigrees
she was the acid queen
she claimed society
is just a fever dream

now you live in the trees and salty seas
tripping out on the blue skies
you shut the door on everything
too busy getting high
and me, just another dream theory
lost inside your eyes

she's not in your history books
lost her mind and kept her looks
down behind the radar screen
she's lit up like gasoline
been through a million kicks
looking for the one that sticks
never would have known it then
i might not see her again

top hat and tails for thrills
red lips and famous hands
sidelong and dancing still
in tiny dancer land

we kiss
time slips
hard edged
tight lipped
see you
sometime
ask
me
if
i
care

for karen
miscommunication
