White Lexus

Please show me how to live.
 Please show me how to have a day.
 I don't want to wake up now.
 Why do I have to wake up, anyway?
 Like a soap star in anguish, shrill but bland,
 When your white Lexus comes
 Around
 The way
 Idling in the long driveway
 Try to feel nothing on command
 When your white Lexus comes
 The thrill
 Be damned
 I forgive the world right now.
 Still I play the chump's role every time.
 My world's the surface of the moon.
 My heart's down in a diamond mine.
 Like the black stars of Memphis, moaning on,
 When your white Lexus comes
 To drive
 Me out
 Drive me to the edge of town
 Try to feel nothing on command
 When your white Lexus comes
 The thrill
 Be damned--
 Damn it to the last damned man.
