He always said she was good and kind
And he can see no evil
‘Cause there is no evil
What evil lurks within a girl’s mind?...'

"Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.

Perhaps they never will..."

To talk, or not to talk: here is your answer:
Whether ‘tis meaner in the heart to laugh at
The skin and marrow of opponents’ cancer,

Let me be Judy Garland
Let me be a great dancer
Let me learn how to sing
When the chance calls
A girl will throw a man to the wolves
And my new life will begin'

summer’s star role?
In Chicago
you had sass.
Now December
and the cars blow,
past the window,
yellow gas.'
