Visions

I wear lace underwear to go nowhere
And no one walks me home
Keeps me like a secret, my own company
I'm reaping what I've sown
And I am treading water on the uptown A
I just can't stand to be alone
These days, these days

I'm going by a different name
But I still look just like my mother
Her visions biting at my heels
While I become a better bluffer
And David wakes up early
Just to call my name
I just can't stand to be alone
These days, these days

I've got an awful vision of you in the hall
Looking at your songbird after the free-for-all
You took her out and took her home
Took the train down from Connecticut
Looked so small then

We talk about the weather, getting better
If I'm having any fun
Choke on my diplomacy
Tell me you've been seeing someone
And I blew half my paycheck
Just to get to your place
I just can't stand to be alone
These days, these days

I've got an awful vision of you in the fall
Tending your resentment, letting it grow so tall
You took me out and took me home
Took the train down from Connecticut
Felt so small then

I begged you not to visit, you laughed me off
"Never was an option," knew you'd hate what you saw
You took me out and took me home
But the train down from Connecticut
Takes so long

Did you feel wicked?
Or just indifferent?
Or anything at all?
