Dolores, I don’t want to see you today
I want to get something done; I want to eat real food
Dolores, please wait in the small room backstage
I want to sing purposeful songs; I do not want to brood
I’m rather not in the mood
LA only taught me to give up and drive away
When I asked her to help me grow up and start my life off well
Drive to give my lies a few hours or a day, or a week, month, or year,
To take shape and take the place of what is actual
I’d rather not recall too well
But here we travel mostly by train and it feels more honest
There are tickets and schedules and commuters you don’t want to bug
But Dolores, she followed me here and she made such a grand mess
She seemed to have no trouble switching from hot dust to cold sludge
Dolores, why’d you have to give me this tattoo?
I want to get it laser removed; I want my skin brand new,
But Dolores, I think that I will keep this poisoned wound,
If for no other purpose than reminding me of you
I’m rather tired, but I’ll stay true—
‘Cause I’m rather often not in the mood

One Train

Won't you sit next to me on the train?
I’m afraid of my thoughts in the silence
I’ll happily soak up every word you decide
I should hear about your favorite clients
The woman who wrinkled her nose every time
She was faced with a difficult question,
And the man could not get it through his thick skull
That he was being sued for a reason
Don’t you go leaving
Before I can know you
And no, I most certainly don’t need to know your name
Don’t you go leaving;
I’ve just begun to love you
I hope you’ll find peace for yourself after riding this train
Lean in real close and I’ll tell you about
The time I punched a republican
In a brief lapse of judgment, I actually thought
My fists would stand in for reason
Of course, I was quite irreconcilably wrong
Look; my arms look like cheap plastic bendy straws
So he chuckled and clocked me so hard, I ended up
Sprawled on the floor of the bar
Now, don’t you go leaping
Conclusions deserve reasoning
Unlikely as it is, that dude could’ve been my friend
96th; I’ve got to switch to the local now
And I appreciate your love, but I don’t know how
To close on a statement that justifies this as the end

Queen Cabbage New York, New York
Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of. Queens ~~ Welcome! ... more
