In the kitchen The remnants of the sun And the beginning And an ending just begun And a story No one will believe And a teardrop Tastes just like the sea On the horizon The locomotive moves through the Great Plains On a windy afternoon She placed her penny On the tracks before it came She was Comanche Before we had our way Off the exit The shanties and the stores And the garbage Piled up against the fence Of the schoolyard Where we all were sent to learn But she dropped out To help her mother pay the bills There's a poet No one thinks is very good But I like her The way that nothing rhymes She sits there In the corner all alone I wish the whole world Could hear it just like me In the kitchen The remnants of the sun And the beginning And an ending just begun And a story No one will believe And a teardrop Tastes just like the sea Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care Sometimes I wish I didn't care
