WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE I FEEL ALONE
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I DREAMED OF MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN AND TO WRITE AND TO BE GLAMOROUS
IT'S KIND OF STINKY LIVING IN THIS HOTEL
THIS IS AFFLUENT AMERICA
MY WIFE IS ACCEPTABLE
WE LOOK LIKE WEATHERBEATEN SURVIVORS
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PICTURE I FEEL ALONE
NOW I SEE A WAY OUT TO A DECENT FUTURE
WHAT I REALLY WANT IS A REAL HOME WITH NICE FURNITURE, ALSO A VAN TO DRIVE
TO ME LIFE SEEMS SO MESSED UP, BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE I AM TRYING TO OVERCOME THAT
