wearing a Fender shirt
doesn't play
Doesn't know who's in the scene
or where the scene's at
I don't mistake chance encounters
as being any different
than run-ins with old friends
Everything's a shot in the dark
aimed at the future
If you've got to shoot at something
it's probably best
if your target never gets any closer
It never fails
songs come on the radio
Lou Reed sings Walk on the Wild Side
and a few people lip sync along
but none of them look to see
who is doing the black girl's part
decked out in imaginary sequins
or who's taking the cool lead
only who sees them singing
silently
