They take dictation in the girl pool. They say that Satan has a girl pool. Lots of denial in the girl pool. Just show up and smile in the girl pool. They say you can adjust to those dark conditions. Just do what you’re told and take what you’re given. But the chocolates never make you quite numb enough not to feel it when they treat you like you’re dumb. The devil is assisted by god-loving girls in the girl pool. The Devil is assisted by girls who love god and Christmas, singing sweetly about Jesus just once a year. But is it evil to help evil when you can’t understand what you hear? Whether it’s futures or derivatives. We don’t really give a darn, what it is. Phyllis Junick, Margaret Langan, Jeanine Diorio Gail Malone Sharon Murphy. Trisha Balsamello Virginia Foley, Joanie O’Neill, Donna Ingargiola Mustafa and me. God bless us all and have mercy on our souls. We of the girl pool. Evil, it pays the rent, but you pay in boredom and time spent laughing at jokes you don’t think are funny. That’s the price you pay for the money in the girl pool.

Illusions 04:04
Money is for spending Why bother pretending Your body’s not for feeling. Give it something good. Bonbons are for eating As long as he is treating Satisfaction is too fleeting To do what you should. I’ve got illusions I’m gonna lose 'em. That’s what they’re there for. So the way out naivete’s not always respectable. I’ve got to be here all flesh and blood and 3 dimensional. I found the way out my mama’s belly without pretention (Just like you). So Gimmegimmegimme gimme the best of these dimensions. Wild oats are for sowing Secrets are for knowing Just climb into a cab And tell the man to drive. Life is for the living Rules are for the breaking Your hearts will do the same no matter how you try I’ve got illusions I’m gonna use them. That’s what they’re there for.

Jimmy 02:54
What will it be today Jimmy? You’re lookin’ fine. Tell me I look like new money Say it one more time. You wake up, kiss yourself, complain that you’re tired all the time oh no It’s not all those girls you keep lying to now Jimmy… Hey have you seen Jimmy, said he’d meet me at nine. No but if I see him I’ll tell him that you stopped by. It happens to everyone, you wait for him for an hour alone. If anyone ever needed a phone, it’s Jimmy. Hey you won’t buy him a cider He can’t believe you won’t buy him a cider He’ll always tip but it’s a big production He acts like it hurts, it’s a big production Don’t you say Elvis was a racist He knows for a fact Elvis wasn’t a racist He’s lived in Bushwick since before it was Bushwick He’s been lived in Bushwick since it was Bedstuy. He’ll always take the carrot, the chocolate’s too dry. And he likes giving Carly a hard time. A woman being twirled by a man is the most beauty this world allows. It’s called dancing, not the shit they do now. Yeah Jimmy.

If I fall short If I don’t make the grade If your expectations aren’t met in me today There’s always tomorrow and tomorrow night. Hang in there Baby, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be alright. Don’t give up on me. don’t want you to. I know it’s late, but please, just wait. Here in my heart. I know I was wrong. Try to make amends for the love that I never did show. Don’t give up on me. Every word is true. I give you my everything, all my love to you. Don’t give up on me. I don’t want you to. I know it’s late. But please...

Don’t you know, she didn’t like me She thought I was a slut But so is everyone Every girl is every thing But funny she, still took it personally When she was feeling a little less than generous she’d say, "Woe be it to anyone who would fall for you." Don’t you know, she didn’t like me (She never, she never) She thought I was a slut. And I won’t say I’m not. Every girl is every thing But funny she, still took it personally When she was feeling a little less than generous she’d say...

Trap Door 03:39
On a couch, drunk at a party in my friend's apartment, I knew at a glance, something was right. We talked about the things we didn't like and all the things we wanted to see. You're a trap door, and I'm falling through the floor, falling faster than I've fallen before. I'm just fine biding my time until I climb up to find more. About a week later in a bar downtown, I saw him again at a table of strangers. On his way back from the bathroom he stopped by to say hi. That was all I got. You're a trap door, and I'm falling through the floor, falling faster than I've fallen before. I'm just fine biding my time until I climb up to find more. I want more.
