lyrics

Sarah left the house at dawn
Compelled by the necessity of earning
Onto an eternity
Of highways, where the wheels are always turning
Disembodied voices who do not agree
And arrive at animosity
Radio free
Radio free

In a drifting state, accelerating
Through a burst of inspiration
New ideas form, a potent
Brainstorm, but of limited duration
There’s a fender bender in the exit lane
And an urgent “move your ass” campaign
Public domain
Public domain

In the office park they chew on
Benchmarks and internalize objectives
This is not a place to face
Your fears or underscore the introspective
Restless body language, exasperated eyes
In the land of never compromise
Or apologize
Or apologize

Sarah sees a foursome on the golf course
From a second-story window
She invents an intense situation
As an exercise or sideshow
Post-apocalyptic, visions of decay
Recreation after judgement day
Artist at play
Artist at play

She accepts an unexpected phone call
With a businesslike expression
Walks a caller through her point of view
And recommends a new direction
A persistent scratching as her ballpoint pen
Sketches plot and character and then
Listens again
Listens again
