Ana Ng

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
 To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
 Exit wound in a foreign nation
 Showing the home of the one this was written for
 My apartment looks upside down from there
 Water spirals the wrong way, the sink
 And her voice is a backwards record
 It's like a whirlpool and it never ends
 Ana Ng and I are getting old
 And we still haven't walked in the glow
 Of each other's majestic presence
 Listen, Ana, hear my words
 They're the ones you would think
 I would say if there was a me for you
 All alone at the '64 World's Fair
 Eighty dolls yelling, "Small girl after all"
 Who was at the DuPont Pavilion?
 Why was the bench still warm? Who has been there?
 Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
 To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
 And in the back of the edge of hearing
 These are the words the voice was repeating
 Ana Ng and I are getting old
 And we still haven't walked in the glow
 Of each other's majestic presence
 Listen, Ana, hear my words
 They're the ones you would think
 I would say if there was a me for you
 When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge
 "I don't want the world, I just want your half"
 They don't need me here and I know you're there
 Where the world goes by like the humid air
 And it sticks like a broken record
 Everything sticks like a broken record
 Everything sticks until it goes away
 And the truth is we don't know anything
 Ana Ng and I are getting old
 And we still haven't walked in the glow
 Of each other's majestic presence
 Listen, Ana, hear my words
 They're the ones you would think
 I would say if there was a me for you
 Ana Ng and I are getting old
 And we still haven't walked in the glow
 Of each other's majestic presence
 Listen, Ana, hear my words
 They're the ones you would think
 I would say if there was a me for you
 Ana Ng and I are getting old
 And we still haven't walked in the glow
 Of each other's majestic presence
 Listen, Ana, hear my words
 They're the ones you would think
 I would say if there was a me for you
