HAWKMOON
(written by Alynda Segarra)
In the bus I sleep all day,
In the back I am, uh huh huh.
Everybody wanna know my name,
I give just a sliver to them.
That’s the way I’ve been taught I am.
Any day, Any way,
I drive a fifth before 3pm.
Little girl with a buck knife and a fake ID.
Sleeping bag and a back pack in the big city.
Now tell me why, well don’t it look like,
I’m always crying.
You try to hide, when you’re high
Baby I know you’re lying.
Well it’s a hawk moon,
and it’s just begun to rise.
Here’s a silver spoon,
So you can gouge out both your eyes.
I couldn’t believe them when they said
Watch out
I’m becoming the kind of girl
They warned me about.
And you’ll never know the way I miss
Miss Jonathan,
She was beaten in the street and then
I never saw her again.
She opened up my mind in the holes of
Her fishnet tights.
Dildo waving on her car antenna,
And I coulda ridden shot gun forever.
She’d say
Oh baby, where do you wanna go?
I know a place no one will ever know.
Well it’s a hawk moon,
and it’s just begun to rise.
Here’s a silver spoon you can eat your heart out
As a prize.
I couldn’t believe them when they’d say
Watch out
I’m becoming the kind of girl
They warned me about.
