Judy Garland

excuse me darlin to disturb you

could you spare a bit of what the lord's left for you

bless your solemn unending virtue

lest your savior up desert you

jesus couldn't quell the pains of americas in trucks and trains and tractor trailers on the range barmen counting their change and goldwin mayer fred astaire slicking back his oily hair snort benzedrine off of a mirror, slaps her ass how are you dear and all the preachers whistle nervous stare down devils in the back of churches, meet their luscious daughter in the smalls beneath the boughs of birches

judy garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a chelsea store and all the drag queens and all the whores couldn't get poor judy back up off of her laurels and judy

wanna put my foot down on manhattan

make it float down like a boogie board

see the water bulging through the avenue

watch the cool kids look out their window bored as their mother drops the rolling pin the radio says

judy garland hit the bathroom floor of her cold apartment 'bove a chelsea store and all the drag queens and all the whores couldn't get poor judy back up off of her laurels and judy

judy garland you're a beauty darlin
