about

My friend Pam Nashel ran a little label called "Poor Dora Maar". I liked her story and name. And Picasso seemed like a jerk anyways.

lyrics

sitting in this room while you're so far away
the light is bad in here so i don't want to write today
i'll lean back on my bed and dream about when we were young
before you got in trouble, before you had your son

sometimes i see stars in the lines between the bars
imaginary lines drawing pictures in my mind
i see you from behind with your hands upon your hips
your clothes are everywhere and there's a song upon you lips

if i stare long enough i can see a lot of things
the tiny room we share before you showed me everything
so naive, i used to want to see you every day
and now your ghost just haunts me and i wish you'd go away

i'm wanting out of here, i'm wanting out of here
i'm wanting out of here, i'm wanting out of here
i'm wanting out of here
