Virginia Wing Glorious Idea
Call and repeat
Do you find it absurd?
To expect a response
When it's your turn to talk
I can't provide
A bench or sofa to recline
Soft furnishings feel hard
When the space is confined
I could spend at least a thousand hours
For every one you claimed to own
And I did, so many times
You thought I couldn't see through any pose
But you guessed, you didn't know
Here is what you want
Here is what you want
Were you ever told to pause
Before you say it all?
Take a breath and count to ten
And then assess what you had meant
Here is what you want
Here is what you want
Here is what you want
What you want -
A mirror and to stay looking down
Reflections all around
But you can't see a thing
Just an image you're not sure
If you want to exist
Here is what you want
You want all the chorus and applause
But you never performed
You were waiting to be called to the front
And recite all the glorious ideas
You had formed over time
Here is what you want
Here is what you want
