Miranda Writes
Miranda has the right to write in silence--
Anything you say, she will use against you
because you're moving your jaw.
Come knock on the door of my friend
Tom Sawyer. Especially if you cannot
afford a real lawyer.
He'll be standing in the darkness
reading the writing on the studio wall...
I was trapped inside a rusty clock,
now I'm running out of time.
I'm gonna buy a tall, tall drink
and rub the rim with lime.
A pinch of salt, a pinch of skin,
just one more step and you'll be in.
These bottomless disturbances
quell my quivering quill,
I'm running out of time,
I've no time to kill.
Where voracious flowers whirl
with the movement of the moon,
and the lyrics won't be written
if I cannot find the tune.
In a dreamer's deeper darkness
remembering the womb's trembling throng,
keeps me merely existing
to write your favorite song.
A piano intoxication is like
being chased by bees.
How would you like to
go swimming in the keys?
Illumination's clear,
music is distressed.
It's time for me to go,
please don't be depressed.
