Where Is Maria |
There’s a sweated-through shirt thrown over a chair |
An old photo of Anna Magnani in her underwear |
There’s an old dog barking at a brand new moon |
And a sign in every window sayin' «Be Back Soon» |
But where is Maria? |
There’s a young fellow rockin' in a thump thump car |
And he’s smug as a commentator on NPR |
And our foolish government tries to save face |
While the whole world struggles to become one bland place |
But where is Maria? |
There’s a millionaire singing about nothing at all |
But he looks pretty good and he’s knocking 'em dead down at the mall |
There’s a woman weary of the look in men’s eyes |
When they don’t look she just turns away and sighs |
But where is Maria? |
There’s a dirty rain falling like the tears of shame |
She’s the only one I know who’d dance with me in such a rain |
There’s a guru snoozin' in a limousine |
And a whole industry pumping blood into recycled scenes |
There’ll be one corporation selling one little box |
It’ll do what you want and tell you what you want and cost whatever you got |
But where is Maria? |
There’s a pile of letters from lovers friends |
If your dream came true would you still want it then |
A series of images on an empty screen |
No conclusions just a kiss from Mr. In-Between |
But where is Maria? |
There’s a wheel of symbols and a wheel of spokes |
Let’s face it, friends, these are station wagons and we’re our folks |
The cafe’s open the hotel’s shut down |
But lord these bad habits sure do stick around |
But where is Maria? |
Behind the camera I saw her smile |
I’d like to go back to that room and stay there for a while |
There’s a stranger’s body with an old friend’s face |
There’s a wild parade and a slow fade and a touch of grace |
Can I visit your house? |
can I sleep in your bed? |
Ah Maria, if I rub your back will you rub my head? |
But where is Maria? |
