ANOTHER DAY [rhythmic: moderate] Santa Rosa, CA 7 Aug 2002

She ran from the light and / She danced in the night and She tasted his breath at the / Moment of his death - She fingered her amulet and / Sucked on her cigarette and Stood in the rain while they / Vacuumed-out his brain - She thought of her future, she / Thought of her past, and she Wondered if they would ever / Catch her at last - The cigarette crumbled, the / Ash blew away away, and she Worked herself up for / Another day, another day Another day, another day / Another day, another day
