Little fish

By midnights voice

Little fish



At the park
in their slick blue jeans

The pretty blondes
all at the age of seventeen

Hanging on
to their cornerstones

The local drug dealer
who's just skin and bones

I used to be jealous
of the luck they had

Scooping up cute chicks
the one's I wished were my bad

But that was more scores ago
than I want you to know

The times have changed
Well , you know how that goes

Now the sandal is on the foot
that the boot wouldn't do

And now I am looking back
not feeling sorry for you

The atmosphere proved in time
it was so much more than brittle

When the time came down to choose you were stuck in the middle

When the years were added up
to the conquistador's smile

A lighter shade of pale
was playing long out of style

    I think even now you want for what you couldn't have. Desire doesn't age the same even though it looks fashionable. Don't bullshit with sainthood. Even when I'm old, I'll still want to beat it up even if I have to pay a doctor.

    Procol Harem as I recall MV and thanks for the memories of the dawn of the era of drugs, and damsels in distress. I missed so much, by choice and then by fate. Cheers my friend! - Dan (the jaw hook will be problematic)

    the drug dealer's never got those girl's love only probably sex. Sex means nothing when love isn't attached. Yes girls who would do anything for some drugs are a dime a dozen. Yet that is the problem to be sure. No if I were you I wouldn't be jealous of them. You were probably saved a boat load of grief. Anyhow that being said I sure hope you find the right one for you someday. May she not be an inanimate object. May you love her more than ever. Blondes indeed.
