“I wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox joint” – Joni Mitchell
I wanna bite off more
than I can chew.
Cookies, ice cream, chocolate cakes
whatever it takes ….
do and do and then undo.
I wanna bite off more
than I can chew.
I wanna run myself ragged
jingle, jangle
will be my only wealth.
Cars, cigars, drunken wakes
whatever it takes,
gulp, burp and whistle.
I wanna bite off more
than I can chew.
I wanna get lost in a
city in full view.
Streetcars, bums, Picassos and fakes
whatever it takes…..
cut through, cut off, renewed.
I wanna bite off more
than I can chew.
