Dress me up
The beat of the drums fill the morning air.
The parade walks down town, people stand and stair.
red balloons, green, yellow take flight and ascend
in a measured flow, up and away.
I am naked, more naked than you had ever seen me, with lights on, outside,
I am standing naked ,I am not shying away, you are not here and after you
what does it matter, me nude in all my glory, without your stare
I am just another body, without my gender, I even don't recognize myself,
without you my breast don't peak, my sex does not heave
my skin does not sing, and my lips, oh my lips
lost orphans desperate
I ask myself
If I am here, does any one
see me, trespassing a dream, am I ?
I ask myself, why no one talks, no one comes,
no one touches me, no one stares. as If I 've disappeared
Just walked away, the day you picked your old brown suit case
you stayed inside my head and I went away.................
I have to wait
for you to come back,
bring me back my gray dress
the one with little red flowers around its edges
for you to dress me patiently, with my arms up my neck
you cover me, and your hand touches my skin, I feel you
with shoes on my feet you would take me away
we will walk the crowd, as the parade marches down town
