Ani Difranco - Little Plastic Castle Lyrics
In a coffee shop in a cityWhich is every coffee shop in every cityOn a day which is every dayI picked up a magazineWhich is every magazineRead a story, and then forgot it right awayThey say goldfish have no memoryI guess their lives are much like mineAnd the little plastic castleIs a surprise every timeAnd its hard to say if theyre happyBut they dont seem much to mindFrom the shape of your shaved headI recognized your silhouetteAs you walked out of the sun and sat downAnd the sight of your sleepy smileEclipsed all the other peopleAs they paused to sneer at the two girlsFrom out of townI said, look at you this morningYou are, by far, the cutestBut be careful getting coffeeI think these people wanna shoot usOr maybe theres some kinda local competition hereTo see who can be the rudestPeople talkAbout my imageLike I come in two dimensionsLike lipstick is a sign of my declining mindLike what I happen to be wearingThe day that someone takes a pictureIs my new statement for all of womankindI wish they could see us nowIn leather bras and rubber shortsLike some ridiculous new team uniformFor some ridiculous new sportQuick someone call the girl policeAnd file a reportIn a coffee shop in a cityWhich is every coffee shop in every cityOn a day which is every day
