Oh the tape on Annie’s window
Looks so graduates in pink
blue morabors (?) flying
towards the horizon
And I’m staring at the ceiling
and the world is ripping sideways
There’s nothing I can say
that even points to this feeling
When she walks to the window,
when she walks to the kitchen
she twists and then goes straight
On a random Monday morning
Congratulates encapsulates
You must heed my warning
or they’ll tape you to a window
and tell you you are flying
If you must go along
with another whiff (?) in silence
Well there’s nothing I could say
that even points to this ruin
When she moves through the room
and then she moves to the kitchen
She sways her hips just slightly
And everybody’s dancing…
