Amy In The White Coat
You take your clothes off right after schoolThe tea is on, the flame is blueYou hope this won't take all afternoonThe tv's waiting to talk to youIt's your naked body on white velourBut there's no feeling, just weight on youYou get nauseous now as he speaks to youSuch proper language for acts so cruelHe says 'We all follow the rulesWe can't very well go and break them now, can weFor youYour older sisters, I've had them tooBut you're my favorite, you know it's trueYou look like your mother, in that thin disguiseYour parting mouth, your shutting eyesAnd the way that you hate me, and the length of your hairIt's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we shareYou see we're all trying to endureYou could easily go and make your own life somewhereCouldn't you?'And you keep your eyes shut, get to school on timeWhere you're a bag of warm fluidWhere you're the corpse in the classYou walk so near to the lockersYou lay so low in the grassDid you get that cut from the principalDid you get that bruise on the busYou should wash your hair moreYou should look more like usI saw you walking once under powder blue skiesYou looked cold still, your color was highAnd I tried to talk to you, but you walked right byI don't know which I said then, hello or goodbyeAll want to be pureBut it isn't a very easy thing now, is it to do
