Thursday


I was standing on a corner in San Francisco
And watched as the lion dipped, dived, and roared past me

I was standing in a parking lot in Seattle
And the rain began to pour as fish flew through the air

I was standing on a frontage road in Austin
And I heard the fireworks boom behind me

I was standing behind a Toys R Us
And you asked permission to kiss me and I said no

I was standing in a midnight street in London
And I was told the hotel might be on fire

I was standing in a convenient store in Biloxi
And there was water puddled all around my ankles

I was standing outside my house
And I wondered if there was an intruder inside

I am standing still
And I am still standing
And I am
