"Dorothy At Forty"
By Cursive
Dorothy, I know you've had amazing dreams
We can't go chasing down each golden street
Each and every rainbow, each passion, each unattainable goal
We're not in dreamland anymore
Dorothy, it seems you'll never understand
This here land is everything we have
Every sweat-stained collar, every dollar,
every bent and bloodied spur
We're not the kids that we once were
We can't be the adults we want to be
Dreams are all you have, dreams have held you back
Dreamers never live, only dream of it
Dream cars, dream houses, dream jobs, dream spouses
Dreams of tornadoes, cities of emerald
And I know we swore we'd make more of ourselves
but this plot is literally our lot in life.
American dreams pollute our cities
Our piece of the pie can't fill our bellies
(More!) More square inches
(More!) Picket fences
(More!) Clothes on the line
(More!) Naps at noontime
More of our fair share
More of our birthright
More of what we're owed
More...
Paid vacation
(More!) Entertainment
(More!) Compensation
(More!) Gratuitous gratification
Dorothy, wake up, Dorothy, wake up
Dorothy, wake up, it's time for work

She spend most of her nights listening to the cars outside her down town apartment something about the constant stream seemed to sooth her restless heart. She would sleep through most of the day so she would always be up at those random hours just looking out into night wondering to herself what other people where doing, why were they up so late too.. Every now and then she would get fed up with her insomnia and head out in the crowded streets, just to see where her legs would take her, some nights they would lead to her favorite 24 hour Chinese restaurant just on the other side of 8th and Longmore, other times her feet would lead her down to the her favorite video store, they seemed to have the same weird hours, as if they were catering to the hooker and vampire crowds, on rare night she would luck out and find some place new to her, Something fresh and different than any other place she had ever been too. Often times it would be a cozy little place where she could read or write or just enjoy nature in its pristine condition.
She would sit and plan her life every step of the way until she had it down pat, it never did her much good cause the next week something would happen that would change the course of her plans and set her on a new path, one she couldn't have ever prepared herself for.
