Shortbus Riders |
| Theater is silent, lights are dim |
| curtains parted, kid about 10 |
| standing on the corner, lookin' forlorn |
| backpack droopin' below the shoulders |
| hair is greasy, the pants are torn high- |
| waters, with a patch in the knee |
| half tucked-in, a stretched out tee says |
| looks into the crowd and begins to speak |
| Children we all are |
| New as the morning |
| Wild the dreams we entertain. |
| Winding paths we travel |
| Offer endless possibilities. |
| CHORUS |
| Short Bus riders, Pick me up to. |
| They don’t want me, On the big one |
| Let me come with you. |
| Forget about the theater, It’s a TV Set |
| streets are empty, Slick and wet |
| Kid about 18, Dressed in fatigues |
| Get out the elevated subway train |
| Unlock a ten speed and ride off, in the |
| Rain, montage ridin' 'round |
| fact’ries, ware’ouses, shipyards, and broke down |
| Trucks 'n cars. |
| stoppin' at da' brown |
| Door. |
| swing open to da' sound |
| Soft is the gaze and |
| Softer the heart that’s |
| Roaring in it’s lair again. |
| Creatures of the jungle all come |
| Out tonight and shake the trees. |
| Forget about the theatre, Forget the TV |
| It’s a full hallucination, On L.S.D. |
| A glowing apparition, Emerges from the trees |
| It might be a figure from your childhood religion |
| maybe from a story when your mama used read you to Sleep. |
| You can’t quite recall but it feels like a happy ghost, and you smile |
| touch your companion who yav loved for a while |
| but ya both been livin in a state o denial |
| Beasts of the east |
| Come feast on the meats |
| 'Till only tactile sense remains. |
| Sanctify the libertine all |
| Tangled up in exstacy. |
| Words by Rivka and Mike iLL |
| Music by Mad Happy |
