Song Title:	Smear Of Red
Visits:	502

I grew up in a ghetto

That was only one house wide

With smiling suburbs all around

And poverty inside

The oldest of an army

That the church was proud to claim

And on the brink of womanhood

I almost lost my name

And I was

Chorus: Quivering in my fever-life

Wishing that I was dead

Suddenly realizing they were

Talking over my head

Learning to speak their double-talk

Facing each day with dread

Waiting waiting waiting waiting

Waiting for that first smear of red

For God was my delirium and sisterhood my goal

But my church began to wonder

If the commies had a soul

And the day I saw a bishop

With an M-1 in his hand

Was the last day of my life

Beneath hypocrisy?s command

But I was..

(chorus)

My wishes all said "Woman"

But my body answered "Child"

My life was just a little odd

My outlook warped and wild

I told my inhibitions

They would fall away someday

The ghosts of them still haunt me

And I cannot run away

But I was--

(chorus)

I've had my turn as maiden, a longer one than most

And I have been a mother

For two girls, one boy, one ghost

I'm looking toward my future

And my chance to be the crone

But although my life is crowded

I am doing this alone

And now I'm

Last chorus:

Quviering in my fever-life

Wishing that time was dead

Suddenly realizing that I'm

Talking over your head

Throwing away the double-talk

Hanging on by a thread

Waiting waiting waiting waiting

Waiting for that last smear of red

Words and music:Kathy Mar

Bamboo Wind "I am in a vast black sea, the spaces reach in front of me As far as I could ever see, as far again behind. And each new world I land upon, with seas and hills and storm and dawn,..."	Barbie Cues "Somebody's barbie is a vaporous cloud One of the barbies of a very freaky crowd Someone's prize hibachi will never cook again It's impossible to charbroil on a small metallic stain..."
Basilisk "She searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever A way her great beauty could live on forever..."	Behold "As in the tribal ritual passed down from ancient days Take all your newborn children out beyond the city blaze And raise your children overhead to sable skies above The sable field of distant space, afire with every star..."
Between Grass Shores "Tides of mountains crash on the shores of grain And in this city of ash I tremble in my private pain Will the winds of time blow my heart to me Or will I wander forever between grass shores and mountain sea..."	Bhigg House "These are the steps that Ruth built Loving kindness in each nail Planks that never trip the feet Lead you from the shady street..."
Box "I am in a box. I am locked inside. Someone owns the locks. Nowhere left to hide...."	Boy Genius "Boy genius with the big sad eyes All of the mamas want to take you home Get what you can, do what you must, be what you have to be And take that weary highway out alone...."
