pinky (lyrics by kevin lay)
she would never say where she came from
said it didn’t matter but how come
she was greater greater than her sum
whitening her cheek
light is what she seeks
vision of the meek
pretending as she speaks
what you pass on is a drama
what you pass as is a tragedy
still hear as we play
are you here as we lay
is there a change if we choose
soon to change the play
she would never say what her reasons were
to clothe herself in sweetness or in fur
inciting her to greater greater blur
peeling off her skin
her disappearing her grin
shows us where she’s been
shows us what she’ll win
what you pass on is a drama
what you pass as is a tragedy
