Ruby Slippers
Simon Joyner

These burning halogen lights cause cancer in laboratory mice.nI read that somewhere. You know, it could be true.nWhy don't you flip the switch so we can start our stupid fight?nIn the dark you can picture me any way you want to.nnCome out from behind your razor blades.nTry to be sensitive for a change.nThere's got to be more to life than sifting through this garbage.nThrough the blip that became the bombshell,nI'm the woman that became your chick.nBut I don't need this.nI'll scissors-paper-rock you for the kleenex.nnNature doesn't abhor a vacuum just to hear itself suck.nAnd that's why a fool like me,nthat's why a fool like me,nThat's why a chick like me always falls in lovenwith a jerk like you.nnYou know you could get a tapeworm from running around barefoot in the grass like that.nYeah, well you could be arrested for singing all your slanderous lies.nHey, I try to tell the truth, just in little digestible pieces at a time.nYou call that the truth? That's not the truth, and that's why you'll never open your eyes.nnDon't march off half-cocked, love, next time.nDon't fall down half-blind.nYou can still pretend you're a genius,nbut I know I'm a loser.nnCheck out the innocent kids playing four-squarenunder the sour streetlight.nThey're to young to know Judy Garland died in ruby slippers.nBut I'll tell you right now, I'm not gonna die in no ruby slippers.nnWell the heart abhors a vacuum my ma used to say.nAnd that's why a fool like menthat's why a fool like menThat's why a jerk like me always runs away.
