Outstripped Voice

I wanted to love
Your vulnerable strength
Genius outstripping voice
Alone upon a stage
But your keepers
Cannot see the beauty
In your exposure
And it seems it's they
Who run your show
Lost Millionaire

Vindaloo.
Poor lost millionaire
Managed to your doom
By fools in striped suits
Who solved the problem
Of being who you are
Bitter Ashes

Sing not songs of blazing youth
To bitter ashes and white hair
Sing instead new songs
Of bitter age and ashes
Not Behind your Band

Vindaloo.
Sing your song
Naked in your heart
Not hiding
Behind your band
Fall's Rain

Vindaloo.
Just cold enough
Fall's rains
To make you wish
For winter
Washing Clean

Vindaloo.
Mists pour into sterile canyons
Washing clean stains
Of sterile lives
Piling
Written by

Vindaloo.
Not this spot
Piling code on accounts
Or there
Piling stones on foundations
Not there
Piling dreams
On top of visions
Half-done

Work half-done
Behind me
On the train
Pointy-shoed Woman
Written by

Vindaloo.
Bored pointy-shoed woman
Can't find excitement
To kick on the train
Advertising Girl

Vindaloo.
Sad eyes of
Advertising girl
Did her pain
Make her famous
Or her fame
Make her pain
Previous day
Next day
