i'm not that girl anymore
low cut and swooning
across beer-stained bar room floors

i'm not that girl anymore
with sideways boozy eyes
praying for an errant hand, a captured gaze

i'm not that girl anymore
slinking through brooklyn streets
a big fish in a big pond only in my mind

i'm saved, you see
i was caught and carefully dusted off
returned to my feet

i'm saved, you see
secure and sane in suburban lawns
found a god in the grass and the dandies

i'm saved, you see
sold a bill of clarity, solidity
but still falling apart just smaller pebbles

and a lot more drifting dust
