High sky times

No more punk

Just corner planters

And teenage crowds

 

She made Daddy pay for the cab

And bubblegum

She made Daddy pay for hair bronze

And dance lessons

 

Four star tribute

And no one in white cares

Twenty-Four heroes

And not mine

 

She made Daddy pay for the work order

And golden pop

She made Daddy pay for the alcohol

And television show

 

Limousine won’t pick me up

And black cars ignore me

Irving Plaza wanted sex with me

And I didn’t even dare

 

She made Daddy pay for the pony ride

And limited edition vinyl

She made Daddy pay for court papers

And thankyous by grace

 

Candle memorials with signage

Directional turns and onlookers

Leather jackets and photographers

A piece of apple pie

 

She made Daddy pay for the helmet

And cherry flavor

She made Daddy pay for the holy prayer

And cream
