She drifts down a sidewalk off ‘a Avenue B / Cursed, broke, too faint to be seen / So she hunts black magic in the cinematheque / Catches his gaze from two seats back
Sullen eyes / Tangled white in projected light / Speak low and soft / the only language she still trusts
Don’t leave just yet
She’s just dying to be set free / From wasted love and crowded streets, her solitary / She’s just a slave to a heart in chains / Only dying to be set free
Shadows of affection stretch / Beneath flickering beams and a possessed screen / Slip down her neck / Glide over her hips and kiss the crease of her breast
Don’t leave just yet
There’s an abandoned station / Off of the local 6 / Stay on at the last stop / The train’ll loop through it / That’s where she goes / When she’s loneliest / That’s where she’d take him / And that’s’ where she’d tell him / That she counts the tiles on the wall / And holds her breath / Pretends she’s Monica Vitti / Forgets herself
But she won’t take him
She’s just dying to be set free / From wasted love and crowded streets, her solitary / She’s just a slave to a heart in chains / Only dying to be set free
