Busy Lady


busy lady
do you ever take off the mask
turn the volume down low
and let the music inside
take you wherever you really want to go

are you always on stage
playing up for the house
tell me what is our cut
Paganini or Strauss

Machevelli or Oswald
or Shakespeare or Jude
tell me dear busy lady
how are you in the nude

busy lady
do you ever meet a stranger
without blowing them away
with your energy bubbles
like you did to everyone just today

are you ever just you
vulnerable and quiet
or do you only feel safe
in the midst of a riot

does charisma keep you
company through the long night
tell me dear busy lady
is everything black and white

comfort can't be packaged
like hair gel or face cream
political correctness
is just somebody's dream

honesty is the only thing
that is real and true
when the show is over
and there's nothing left to do
but say good night and go
where do you go busy lady
to be real, to be true, to be you
where do you go busy lady
to just be you



Busy Lady
