Mary Ann and the Voices

[saw]

you're such a sweet person
for someone so dysfunctional
maybe that is part of the attraction
after all these years playing music together
and what does one earn by following the script anyway
are there merit badges that get you a room with a view
in the afterlife inn, free valet service
for your deluxe magic carpet, a shore leave pass
that never expires, you are a decent soul
damaged and kind, have moments of clarity....
as you move in and out of sequential moments,
where are these evaluation forms ? I need
to get a peek at the boxes to be checked,
what will they say about me, He was
a Good man, he always did the right thing ?
they might think that to themselves as they toss flowers
and shovelfuls of dirt, say little prayers of redemption
He was such a Good man, always followed the right path....
well, Fuck That, I can't do it, and neither can you
old friend, we share a disconnect, besides
I don't want to do it, I need to follow the voices
in my head, like brian wilson's vision for his boys
you're are a gem of a human being
old friend, for someone so lost in her dreams
we are an ancient rock genus, sonny and cher
without any money or groovy furry vests , we've still got it !
selling out stadiums in our minds
so many evenings by the fire, guitar, bass, voices...
temporary sanity,
reprieves from reality
