My mind is wandering it is pondering

In this cheap cafe

Writing poetry so thoughtlessly

Mental fabric frayed

Smoking cigarettes trying to forget

While my lungs decay

I'm wondering what you'd say

But you don't know me

And I wish you did

You don't know me

Uh la la la la

You don't know me

And I wish you did

You don't know me

Uh la la la la

And there you are like a rising star

So heroically

And I'm a silhouette that you forget

I am stale whipped cream

Just a courtesan on a baby grand

In your periphery

That you no longer need

Cause you don't know me

And I wish you did

But you don't know me

Uh la la la la

You don't know me

But you don't know me

And I wish you did

Uh la la la la

Night after night

I sing pain and pride on this seasoned stage

I'm your invisible

Inaudible princess of rage

You don't see the scars

Or feel the bars of my golden cage

You just turn the page

Cause you don't know me

And I wish you did

But you don't know me

Uh la la la la

You don't know me

And I wish you did

But you don't know me

Uh la la la la
