Lucy

Lucy Spoke Diamond dust when we met
on a one night blind date set up by my college
room mate, promising a roadtrip out of kansas
with every heel click once she

slipped, tongue pressed, passed my lips
on the back of 25 cents, dropping me in the
mail slot, ending up in the dead letter room in
the post office on the dark side of the moon
stamped postage due, and

unable to hitch a ride, i followed street sign
popsicles melting in a purple haze picasso
paintings to an intersection seeking direction
from a time concious rabbit and his girl Alice

eat this, drink that, whisper the cheshire cats
leaving you dance paranoia's razor, slippery slope
of no hope tomorrows, lies hidden behind
Mona Lisa smiles, but get out of jail free is

just a card in Monopoly, cause what they fail
to tell you, fine print on the label, is escape
lasts minutes then you right back in it, only
deeper & soon enough you'll need it again

she'll intro you to friends...and again...and again...

"Hey Lucy, you got some esplainin to do!"
Rickie Ricardo yelling, but she's off selling
herself to another brother just as jacked up
as you, yeah reality sucks at times, but

its hard to rewind the tape once it spools
and only fools fall in love with and few
live to tell it, but i did and i gotta say,
she's a promise unkept and that ain't cool---
