Emancipated Minor |
Emancipated minor |
Well directed, brilliantly casted |
Riding a Greyhound down to the city |
With her fake I.D. |
and a hell of a little hand basket |
Little game of seesaw, then he came to claim her |
And then a sordid line formed behind him |
Reproductive system newly activated |
She participated in nature’s plan, she participated |
And I can’t say I envy her, I don’t think I miss it Wrought iron cobwebbing over thin windowpanes |
The city seducing you on tiptoe to kiss it Don’t think twice, just roll the dice, roll the dice |
So she attended the dance classes and she learned the little dance |
And she tried the high heels but she couldn’t bring herself to prance |
All the while a faint ticking in the silence between the songs |
Just south of her gut two tiny time bombs |
And love comes in many forms and for each she would yearn |
Hungry as a student, hunger to learn |
Every flavor of person, every species of intent |
With the body pulsing at the center detent |
But all the good graffiti got painted over in time |
She watched the last faceless chain replace the last five and dime |
And she wondered if the only noble thing |
Ain’t to just to get a big garden and plant it in the spring |
Kiss the city goodbye in some big graceful gesture |
And focus on the moon’s groove, groove with the moon |
Focus on the moon’s groove and groove with the moon |
Focus on the moon’s groove, groove with the moon |
And I can’t say I envy her, I don’t think I miss it Wrought iron cobwebbing over thin windowpanes |
The city seducing you on tiptoe to kiss it Don’t think twice, just roll the dice, roll the dice |
Roll the dice, roll the dice |
