The shopping bag ladies, they live in the terminal waiting room,
Patiently whiling their hours away,
Desperately keeping their demons at bay,
Making up lies about times that were good.

Staunchly defending their sanity
Clutching one last shred of vanity
Fixing a kerchief she wears on her head
Covered in posies and lilacs in blues and in reds

Secure in their brown paper barricades
Worldly possessions they’ll not have to lose
Lightweight emotional refuse.
They rant and they rave, they’re mad and they’re crazy.
And that’s how they stay free.

You beautiful bastard boy,
I’ll be just how i am.
I’ll be just how i am.
