It's styles of a nameless brand pristine day
an exclusive star-sheathed shadow after 
overwhelming luminous glare fainted
a somewhat true-to-life footpath in

oozing its life gliding o'er its rocky...

They would be driving in singles and pairs 
Going...

Couple of wild girls out for fun
Perfect hair and makeup's fine

Lyrical On 44th Street
 

The argument started at the table
 
He was too soft,
 too timid to quote Gable
 
She said ,"Your dreams aren't keeping the lights on.
 
If I see you writing again, your...

Her hair was red, frizz with frost
Crisped, solidity, warmth was lost

Porcelain skin, eyes of deep blue
Hair falling in wisps, reminds you of someone, 
you likely once knew

how her voice danced, twirled dangerously in a box

Bathed in incandescent Light
Her pathway is all aglow
His dwelling lies in Shadow

He is consumed by his fears
Beyond, he sees dazzling Light
This lone dweller of the Night

you dipped Mom over backwards, ‘til her hair swept the floor.
I took a deep breath and I could taste your cologne,
thundering footsteps downstairs, we all knew...

Your pretty smile falls beneath your head
Brunette flow

with bags packed
