1. Are you male or female?

we were girls in bars
we were boys on the town
bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
you said good friends are hard to come by

2. Describe yourself:

you followed me this far
did you find out what's inside?

3. How do people feel about you?

if you were here in starkville
the local girls, they wouldn't have a prayer

4. How do you feel about yourself?

here I sit in the land of plenty
crying about my own virginity
hey blue blood you're nothing new
you see I come from privilege too

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend:

i walked in king's cross for a while
gave a junkie girl a smile
we both trade it in for danger
or the company of strangers
she said all her family
was at the welfare agency
then she swindled my last twenty
for a kiss and some poetry

6. What would you rather be doing?

get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down
we'll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of town

7. Describe where you live:

i left my anger in a river running highway five
new hampshire
vermont
border by college farms hubcaps and falling rocks
voices in the woods and the mountaintops
i used to search for reservations and native lands
before i realized everywhere i stand
there have been tribal feet running wild as fire

8. Describe how you love:

and i bought you that ring 'cause i never was cool
what makes me think i could start clean slated
the hardest to learn was the least complicated

9. Share a few words of wisdom:

at the dawning of some road-worn day
i called you on a whim just to say
"the morning birds are singing"
but i could not do them justice
so i hung up and fell back to sleep
