speed limit lyrics
by June Henry
In metaphysical shock
I'll weep for the love that I've lost
I'll buy myself shiny new rocks
And when I step out there's spotlights on the sidewalk
And in the stifling fitting room
I'll weep for the body I've bent
I'll weep for the boy that I was
And for the girl that I am again
And when I get to the car
I'll weep for the curbs that I hit
I'll play my music way too loud
I'll ignore the too-slow speed limit
And when I get to my room
I weep for the mess that I've made
I weep cuz its not baby proof
I weep cuz I don't feel safe
