• my dark life
  
  she says nobody wants to believe
  you're the same as everyone.
  what makes me unique?
  my dark life
  there was a kink in the world
  sent that statue tumbling
  an invitation east
  so we can watch it all crumbling
  
  she came off like light and so softly she spoke:
  "you don't know, no you don't know about my dark life"
  and you think you're a guest, you're a tourist at best
  peering into the corners of your dark life
  now that you tear your dreams from consumptive ballerinas
  she'd stand on tiptoes for you in a grey and tattered tutu
  she stays where she is because of voyeurs like these
  with an accusative look that says
  my dark life
  
  robber men await you then in each beguiling alley
  to shake you and to pierce you and remind you of
  my dark life
  
  enter the pious elite, in their preening finery
  and bang the tambourine
  they're dining on rice paper scenery
  see how the villain attracts envious glances from everyone
  she's waitressing by day
  it doesn't bring in much money now
  
  and his strong concealed arms set off bells and alarms
  in the strangest locations of
  my dark life
  but the fantasy slipped as he tipped her in cigarettes
  she tries to smile very graciously when she wants to kill him
  now the victory is sweet, you'll get down on your knees
  it's the perfect position for kissing western leather
  
  so they came from ugly texas and from nameless tennessee
  from peculiar missouri and from places closer to me.
  all the cream of heartless england, cheered the carnival is over
  there are remnants of red army bandsmen
  played "america the beautiful"
