[Verse 1]

Vera takes a glass off the shelf

Dreamin' the dust is secret

A smile on her face in the mirror

An old friend she knew lives within her

[Verse 2]

Tonight, men's machines wake Ma

Showers of mornin' rinse away nightmares

While Santé rests, hung easy in the twilight

Remember him, him pinched in Pocatello?

[Verse 3]

Here white's a sign of lifeless living

While outside, due to weather, it darkens

Some lives cause some to stare

Others try to win operation solitaire
