A penny for your melody 
Bethany 
We're still making love in a memory 
 
Before the letter you 
Sent to me
Blue ink on hotel stationary  

You were touring for the money
Certainly 
When you realized you didn't need me 

Democracy was decaying 
When you called me 
About a bounced check from the record company

And these years 
They bleed 
Like when the cities of our empire
Express their suicidal need  

The sum 
Of our dreams 
Our Camelot fell apart
At the seams 

With this machine to appease 
You took any hand you could 
When I was down on my knees 
We believe whom we believe 
Whether the poet in a gutter 
Or techie in a limousine 

It hurt me when I heard you were 
A junkie 
But you said you quit cold turkey 

When I queried why you'd 
Called me   
You said baby, they've swept up our confetti 

I said I'm on a PhD
At University
Relieved they had a life left to sell me  
 
The last thing you told me was  
Sweetie 
I got your number from your mother 
She thinks you still love me
 
And these tears 
They seem 
To remind me there's no implosion
I haven't already seen

But sonny 
Come here 
All men sometimes get sad 
There's nothing wrong with your daddy 
  
But a poet's 
Reverie
And time does clarify
All not to be  

We're an  
American family 
And the singer in my poems
Compared to your mother meant nothing to me
