she loves everybody she loves everyone

like the picture taken twenty years ago that she keeps in her portfolio

he wants everybody he wants anything

and they part the rope outside the whiskey bar

a glitter gown in orbit left to satellite a waning star



i touch down in the heated land

and shiver in my bones as i look up to greet the clouds that wait for me

washed aside by circumstance

the watercloth had cleared the answer in my mind

and you were there with me, there with me again



she loves everybody she loves everyone

the evidence sits in the vcr

he's choking on apologies, she's channeling a superstar



i tiny elbow through the crowd

flashing lights, the music's loud, i'm questioning if this is destiny

disappearing from the rants

ignoring risen sycophants, i close my eyes

and you were there with me, there with me, there with me again



she loves everybody she loves everyone
