The Candidate |
| Inside the lonely building |
| Sits the candidate |
| His speech is typed and ready |
| The hundred-dollar plates |
| Sit on deserted tables |
| Beneath fluorescent light |
| But no one comes to hear him |
| No cheers disturb the night |
| So where are all the voters? |
| Where the voter’s wives? |
| They’ve all gone to the movies |
| Trying to understand their lives. |
| The candidate is slipping |
| Into some dream of old |
| Not noticing around him |
| A thousand rubber chickens going cold |
