Lyrics
[Stanza 1] Stay on your path Sylvia Plath don’t fall away like all the others [Stanza 2] Don’t take all your secrets alone to your watery grave about lovers and – [Stanza 3] The secrets you keep will keep you in deep like Amy and – And brother And all of the people you meet on the street will reiterate lies that they uttered [Stanza 4] Leave me in peace, I cry In the middle of the night On a slow boat bound for Catalina for no reason [Stanza 5] Tiny drops of perspiration dot my forehead could be mistaken for dew drops if this were photo season [Stanza 6] But alas this is a real life – and it’s been a real fight just to stop my mind from committing treason Why you ask? Because she told the townspeople I was crazy, and the lies, they started to believe them [Stanza 7] But anyways – that’s all over now [Stanza 8] I’ve moved on, gone scorched earth And now I’m left wondering where to go from here To Sonoma where the fires have just left? South Dakota? [Stanza 9] Would standing in front of Mount Rushmore feel like the Great American homecoming I never had? [Stanza 10] Would the magnitude of the scale of the sculptures take the place of the warm embrace I’ve never got [Stanzza 11] Or should I just be here now Bare feet on linoleum Slicing vegetables onto water that I will later turn into stew [Stanzza 12] People love my stories People love visions
