Mine was a relatively easy tragedy
Went through their picket lines
Playing with the toys
I am growing older
I wish he'd never come here with me
On that sterile battlefield that sees
She offered stability and calm
Only casualties
On his denim thighs a magazine
I'm just another woman lost
Now I'm sitting in this waiting room
I wish his shoulder
I said why don't you go home
She offered her hand for me to hold
And I was crushing her palm
I passed their handheld signs
And my urine
In fact I wish he'd never come near me
The world isn't perfect yet
Wasn't touching mine
Are learned at the worst times
Who don't know that they are wet
And they gave my blood
Through the pinch pull wincing
My freedom of choice
Hoping it will break
His bored eyes were obscene
But I don't think there's a one of us
Some of lifes best lessons
My smile unconvincing
And that clinic's since been closed
I gave them every penny that I'd saved
As far as I can tell
My heart hit absolute zero
They keep pounding their fists on reality
I closed it when I was eighteen
Waiting in this line
Looks a little less hard nosed
Lucille, your voice still sounds in me
They shouted when they saw me cross
But that picket line persisted
A number
Now the profile of our country
Under the fierce flourescent
And I am here to exercise
Just leave me alone
Never heros
They gathered when they saw me coming
You are like fish in the water
