Lady with the Nose Piercings by Elona Rose

Down town there’s a place I like to go
When I just got driven up the wall
I got lost on my way there
Thinking damn where was I going again?
Lifted my hand high to tell the birds
To read between the lines

Hey lady
Where you heading to?
Standing on the edge of the bridge you’re looking shady
Maybe trying to see if the angels will catch me
Like dropping a line into the water and waiting
For the lady with the nose piercings to appear
Out of the blue like a scroll inside a bottle
And a genie with a beard

I’ll look into the distant future
She told me
I wear my earrings on my nose
Because bullshit was meant to get caught by a whiff
Not meant to be heard or talked with
Afterwards I asked her for the finest bottle of wine
To lift the wisdom like smoke from a cigar

Lady with the nose piercings
Nobody has seen a beauty like you
In a good century or two
Help me be like you
She composed an answer with her cards
Hold your breath and count all the stars
I got so mad I punched a mirror
Broke that lady and her nose
Ask the genie with the beard
From that day on things were really weird
Between me and that lady with the nose piercings
