Close To A Star

    Today
is such a day
    where I can breathe
 even the city air
Take a chlorine shower,
   scrape the ice off the car,
and leave the house to get away from
      that pounding, banging, restlessnes
  upstairs,
god I hate
            this place, but I'm so close
   to a star that I gotta keep on running
the wind will always scream in my ears
     "go back home, girl"
  but I know I am too quick.
even when I
     blush,
  I say, "howdoyoudo?"
   oh, with a scheme
  and a fire
         we can go anywhere.
