149th Chorus

I keep falling in love

  with my mother,

I dont want to hurt her

—Of all people to hurt.

Every time I see her

  she's grown older

But her uniform always

  amazes me

For its Dutch simplicity

And the Doll she is,

The doll-like way

  she stands

Bowlegged in my dreams,

Waiting to serve me.

      And I am only an Apache

      Smoking Hashi

      In old Cabashy

      By the Lamp.
