In my room
I'm the only guest
And in your dry-cleaned thoughts I'm second best

A cup of tea and polyester poetry
And I wait

And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12

Rest your brain
Honey don't complain
Rimbaud and Hesse always took the blame

A cup of tea and polyester poetry
And we wait

And I'm wondering if I'm just a quote
In the book that you never wrote
Can I put myself back on the shelf
As Edition No. 12
