LIVE from Psycho Babylon

Baby boomer born again

songstress / chanteuse

airs her pain

pensive windswept

in the rain

vacant on the CD cover

lost her mind

or lost her lover

press RECORD

and leave it on

open like a telethon

phone the shrink

and sing the song

Psycho Babylon, you know?

where the messed up

pop stars go

and comedians

spend their money

re-emerging

not as funny

out they come

new book / CD

My Psychologist and Me

kicking ass at 43

with the aid of therapy

Take the cure

it's not a con

life's a couch

to lie upon

call the press

and sing the song

and on and on

and on and on
