You make a good point. I would be just as happy to hear about her failures.

The lights are bright in the circus
The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes and laugh at your misery
While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart
The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart
It's a long slow slide x3
Down
Once the neon is gone
There is still this golden splinter at my side
His manners are charming
But who are you fooling
You're still nobody's bride
Bukowski's widow
Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel
As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal
It's a long slow slide X3
Down
And outside the window the circus crackles & lurches
with rings of smoke
You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline
Not realizing they've made you the joke
Inside my heart a war is raging
A region still untamed
The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named
Is for the mystery to be named
It's a long slow slide X6
Down
