about

Originally written, a long time ago, for Song Fight. Now with an additional verse by T. Masami Tadehara.

lyrics

boy in the mirror with a cheap guitar
playing for toothpaste and an Ivory bar
but in my mind’s eye I’m a superstar on the TV
girls line up—you know they just can’t wait
to meet me, touch my hair, they think I’m great
I see them smiling as I masturbate in the toilet

now I’m running late for work again, again
now is clearly not the time—oh but when, when?

girl in a journal writing with gel ink
putting down feelings—making space to think
enmeshed in words I hang above the brink of discernment
my quips and poetry have real street cred
oh heaven knows I’ll be great when I’m dead
pontificating as I shave my head in the garbage

life’s been creeping up on me again, again
someday I’ll finally get away—oh and then, then

we are perfect in our dreams
meet with success in all our schemes
and at our feet life’s treasure gleams, ripe for taking
but our everyday life demeans
all of those grand and noble scenes
from time spent curled up with our should-have-beens before waking
