I've goCne as fGar as I canAm go
The reFst you muGst do alCone
With your paFnts around your knGees
You said &quCot;don't leave mA7e please"
But thFis is as fGar as I can gCo
And sCo I sGwivel on myAm heel
And soFon the greGen becomes the gCrey
Now that my sisFter's cleaned my Gcar
I can depCart from where you aA7re
I never liFked the country anyway
The birds, they stCeal things frGom my slFeep
They sing the pFromisGes I couldn't keCep
CLast night I drGeamed my alphabAmet
Out of my voFice, all pGretty plastic shCapes
MFuted microphoGnes
Turned in my haCnds to ice cream coA7nes
And the siFlence was all syrupy, all candy, tarts and cake
The sCad curl and shGine of baby spFit
And a secFret trail that leGaves beyond a Ctick
Oh, the sCad curl and sGmear of baby sFpit

Last nCight I dreGamed of paper trAmails
Dolls without facFes joined infGinitely with fiCngerless armS
FBlank as the air was dGead and sound is chaCsing the stillness aA7ll around
IsF choking the vibrations
FBeady little tales of sewing neeCdles and a bGall of stFring
Tear them aFpa- aaGrt and make them siCng
Of sewing neeCdles and bGall of striFng
My useless FhearGt, a wedding riCng
ApCologies are boGring and they're tAmrite
But if deFsired, I will sGee what I can fCind
As sFoon as the concrete coGmes into view
PCencil to paper we'll mA7ove for you
FSqueeze our time together to lines and lines and lines of fifty words
FAcross the page
BFig decision all contGained in a phAmrase
I know I prComised Gyou all alAmong
Forgive me plFeaseG, for I canCnot
