the perfume of her hangs in the air like an atmosphere promising thunderstorms the windows cracked letting november in but her body beneath these blankets warms me her hair in wet feathers pressed to her head the washed out splendor of macy's day parade glitter and tinsel are clogging the drains causing a runoff that's flooding the city she gives me her red rhinestone ring that fits only my thumb and i wonder was it her ex-husband's or father's or someone's cheap souvenir from a somewhere he took her i decide i won't be a gift to her so i wear it for awhile til' it gives me a rash i am not sentimental toss it in the trash cos' i don't care if she likes me or not Letras de cancionesif she likes me or not i don't care if she likes me or not she was marching in the macy's day parade in a row of dancers decked out in the rain women in heels executing military drills goosestepping in lynchpin six inch stilettos towards central park where the mud from its meadows runs into the gutters all glutted with pink ostrich feathers the plumage that falls from a macy's day dancer answer me it's raining crowds run for cover shoving complaining streets full of women that beg you to praise them all and their lashes and then slowly raise them they'll stare you down and then turn away but when they're hunting you can't you hear their eyes saying do you like me or not hey do you like me or not hey do you like me or not camera crews leave with rain on their lenses we leave with the first ones who befriend us i've followed the holes your heels left in the mud while behind us the city was starting to flutter hair in wet feathers blue blonde and red the washed out splendor of macy's day parade hair in wet feathers pressed to her head the washed out splendor of the nest i made with sheets strewn over with sequins and trash cast off by parades that have already passed and i am not the first this role gets recast the macy's day bird calls out from her nest do you like me hey do you like me or not hey do you like me or not hey do you like me From Letras Mania
