The Freckled Chick

I'm the freckled chick on the curb

Twirling my hair out of boredom

I'm the silhouette on the bar stool

Hair piled high

I'm the girl with a little cleavage

Sitting in the front row

I'm the one beside you

Screaming in your pillow

I'm the neurotic w/a tattooed toe

I'm the sleeper with a vision



I'm the writer by candle light

Wearing a big hat now

I'm the one behind the cigarette

Waiting for more

I'm the stooge in braids

Mopping the tile floor

I'm the beauty

Picking lilacs through the window..I'm the artist

I collect lipsticks

I am your wife at the door

The one you've been waiting for

I am the love child

My hair is tangled



I'm a dancer

I wear my legs tight

I'm the volunteer on the carpet my picture's being taken

I'm the one with the water

I haven't been drinking

I'm your daughter w/the TV Guide

Watching Mary Tyler Moore

I'm your friend in my Betsey Johnson

Upstaging my outfit



I'm the vegetarian talking about chicken scabs

In the kitchen doing your dishes

I'm tending garden

Watering your cactus

I'm your girlfriend w/no underwear

I dated the Dee Jays and the dandies

I'm an experienced teenager

I just want to feel loved

I'm the cook in velour

Raising corn dishes

I am my own addiction

I am an anonymous member in a corner

I am cut and hurt

I hide behind a proscenium

And under wigs
