The Passage of the Black Gene
Elvis Perkins

I saw a woman

out in the evening

going her Mary way

up a city block


Stricken by a strange pose

bent out of shape

the pose of a puppet

master gone


Looking up and in

to a light across the road

she froze for a moment

then moved on


Dada da

dada da

dada da


When I came to

where she'd been

I looked around for a mirror

and found in its place a billboard


Beaming down a model

in the echo of her body


selling, no yelling, yelling

the black jean


And looking up and in

to the light across the road

I froze for a moment

then moved on


Dada da

dada da


'Take it off of me

We'll live this way forever

I'll make you the fairest babe

that's ever been'


Dada da

dada da

dada da

dada da

dada da

dada da
