thornton wilder and me
Me an' Thornton Wilder
Big as a drive-in movie screen
Take a photo of her, file her
Waiting on the perfect screen.
Waiting on the perfect scene.
We go to the end of the desert.
Where the water is solid and cold.
Set out milk in a saucer
For those rattlesnake kiddies t' grow old.
None dare say they understand.
None dare say they ever can.
Except her, except her.
(They all say she's no good),
But she is the best, has stood the test,
Everlasting childhood.

Childhood, childhood, childhood.
