Theresa

by Nick Jaina

what were they on about?
there's a bird in the opera house
trapped in the curtains
I will be up all night
it's strange that so many folks
can just sleep
when the city is full of flames and heat

oh Theresa
I keep saying your name
to anyone who'll listen

I am a starving dog
I will eat any scrap you drop
bite any hand that taunts you
I am the favored horse
I will burst from the gates
cheers will pepper the crowd
you will be so proud of me

oh Theresa
I keep saying your name
to anyone who'll listen
