Stage I
Sidsel Endresen, Django Bates
like being in a story
like starring in a play
acting out some destiny
far,far away from anywhere
like watching yourself
walk down the street
like what's new?
tossing your hair
watching people watching you
hanging out in No-Town
like you knew the Lingo
like flying kites
from a basement window
like checking it out
saying to yourself
yes okay yes
like going somewhere
like Astral Weeks
for months on end
and always Blue
mean old daddy
and do the way young lovers do
like finding a room
and painting it white
like a bridal gown
like being with someone
like we were going somewhere
like a Chelsea Morning
like a Tenderberry
oh,darling
like I was never there
