Summer Stock

I have a little machine,
studio lights, St. Louis queen.
Cut to scene.
Seconal, amphetamine
power her days and drain them clean.
The shot close,
the camera follows
wherever she goes,
she's never alone.
Since Hoover tapped our phones,
never alone.
She said, "I'm accident prone.
Don't leave me alone."
I have a little machine,
appeared on the lot at age thirteen.
I guided her waist the whole routine
and said, "if I get fresh, don't get mean."
Her highball
and last curtain call,
is it my fault
she's never alone?
May silver screens and silicone
preserve her heart for everyone.
We'll strip her to the bone,
won't leave her alone.
I said:
"Don't you forget who found you.
The hands that crowned you
can also drown you.
Was there one wish I failed to unlock:
a gold man and a slot in Summer Stock?"

I have a machine.
All lights on the queen.
Seconal, amphetamine
power her days and drain her clean.
The shot close, the camera follows
wherever she goes
she's never alone.
Since Hoover tapped our phones,
we're never alone.
She said, "I'm accident prone. It's known.
Don't leave me alone."
I have a machine,

Her highball and last curtain call.
