the trio sings to me
The Be Good Tanyas croon
"Waiting to Die "
sounding like an okay way
to pass the time for an hour or so
banjo, fiddle, guitar
three part harmony
these canadians lovelies
could bring a tear
to the eye
of a corporate gunslinger
who really dreams of BC bud
and a life without deadlines
power-point presentations
progress meetings
what can possibly grow
in a boarded room, what
enlightenment can come
in windowless cubes of decay
where kicking ass is a rote mantra
and kissing ass is the best way to blend in
feeling the same either way
kicking, kissing... same foul taste
on the lips. the girls from vancouver
lay it all out, the biding of time that leads
to hollow canyons, empty
as a downed six pack of miller-lite,
the ladder is burning from both ends
you can't climb up....you can't climb back down
