My waiter is a Brando affecting Nicholson's smile
|
I feel a sort of compassion but choking down my dinner was a trial
|
The sixty-five year old poet, he's still finding his voice
|
I read his old yellow clipping calling him the poor man's shithouse Joyce
|
|
The impossible dream, yes you will find out
|
|
His face was a jackal it seemed to her in the dim
|
She clutched her precious objects that held no meaning for him
|
She stuffed her screeching child into a stroller
|
It's throwing cheap plastic toys in its wake
|
Transfixed and horrified he watched it snack on some kind of albino cake
|
|
The impossible dream, yes you will find out
|
|
Start at the top and live like you're always willing to fall
|
But you know it makes no difference to me
|
This year you'll reinvent yourself and grow
|
Comfortably soft you'll jump over the barbed wire
|
And get your giblets torn off
|
Slow motion in a crashin' car
|
Her halo formed in broken glass
|
Yellow police tape and a blonde wig
|
I guess you went too fast
|
|
The impossible dream, yes you will find out
|
