My mind is wandering
it is pondering
in this cheap cafe
Writing poetry so
thoughtlessly
mental fabric frayed
Smoking cigarettes
trying to forget
while my lungs decay
I'm wondering what you'd say
But you don't know me
and I wish you did
You don't know me
uh la la la la
You don't know me
and I wish you did
You don't know me
uh la la la la
And there you are
like a rising star
so heroically
And I'm a silhouette
that you forget
I am stale whipped cream
Just a courtesan
on a baby grand
in your periphery
that you no longer need
Cause you don't know me
and I wish you did
you don't know me
uh la la la la
You don't know me
and I wish you did
you don't know me
uh la la la la
you don't know me
Night after night
I sing pain and pride on
this seasoned stage
I'm your invisible
inaudible princess of rage
You don't see the scars
or feel the bars
of my golden cage
You just turn the page
Cause you don't know me
and I wish you did
but you don't know me
uh la la la la
You don't know me
and I wish you did
you don't know me
but you don't know me
uh la la la la
you don't know me
and I wish you did
but you don't know me
uh la la la la
you don't know me
