Album: Overdose
I was passing the time for a while
in a large bookstore
open until midnight
I was reading through magazines
with my old friends in them
reading the horoscope
and then A TV guide and
a best seller
a magazine my friend is in
and a magazine that I'm in
Paid for the whole thing by credit card
at the big free market
opens only on Saturday afternoon
I was passing the time alone
yesterday, I was thinking about things
I stayed awake until morning but
I slipped out of bed anyway
a cheap lampshade and
an old movie poster
and Tibet tea and
cut, white flowers and
an Afghan coat
I haggled and got a good deal
when I have a lover
I am in love but...
even if I don't have a lover
it's no big deal
and then on the way back
from Saturday afternoon shopping
following behind me
a small dog, a funny dog
this dog who followed me, barking as it does
even if I don't have a lover
it's no big deal
but even if I don't have a lover
I am in love...
