    Not always, but sometimes, when I put on some music

    I save the world

    Even though it didn't need any saving.

    Sometimes when I put on some music

    I wonder what it would sound like

    If I were a different person.

    Or how the music would sound

    If I was the musician

    Playing myself

    Or itself playing me

    I can't be sure.

    My music isn't made by long haired men

    With assorted guitars of different sorts.

    I can't get nostalgic about "those days"

    On the field with a girl that I don't know

    Sitting in a car I don't have

    That I can't afford.

    My music, however

    Let's me strut into any room

    Like a peacock with dark feathers

    But one that shifts uncomfortably on the bus

    Wondering if anyone heard.

    I hope not.

I can see you shifting uncomfortably on the bus, headphones on, wanting to strut, but not comfortable enough, yet, in your peacock coat.

I do have one! Very good for the 23 degree weather we have going on right now.

Stray thought - I kinda wish we brought cloaks back. Cloaks are awesome.
