Over Her Head

LEADER (in rain):
Over her head
A greasy flag
Its stripes a grin
About her hips
Its stars lettuce seeds
She says she'll use
To have her candy washed

'Hotel lobby band'

Is she really supposed to do
What she pretends to do
Under circumstances
She can't imagine?

GINGER (slowly coming to grips with being grabbed by the lips):
High on ice cream
And not melting
Mouths to feel
But not be felt

LEADER:
With no kissing beneath the belt!

Women kept naked in the rain
Their honor miraculously afloat
Big ragged sunflower climbing cunts

GINGER:
What she can't stand

MEN:
What - stand

WOMEN:
What she can't stand

YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST:
What she can't stand

GINGER:
He doesn't want

MEN:
He - want

WOMEN:
He doesn't want

YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST:
He does not want

GINGER:
Holding her down

MEN:
Hold - down

WOMEN:
Holding her down

YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST:
Holding her down

GINGER:
She holds him up

MEN:
She - up

WOMEN:
She holds him up

YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST:
She holds him up

GINGER:
Something implicit in the time -

WOMEN:
Something implicit -

MEN:
Something -

GINGER:
- In the unsightly poultry -

WOMEN:
- In the unsightly poultry -

MEN:
- In her -

GINGER:
- Of her eyes

WOMEN:
- Of her eyes

MEN:
- Eye

LEADER:
Ginger a pale saucer

GINGER:
Singing to mice
Born dead in traps

GINGER and LEADER:
Contemplating suicide
As protection from fraud
Escalator over the hill
