Subtitular
Steal one from a rock star, find one in a book...
sometimes a title eludes me
and it could be like that for days
then out of the blue it will come to me
in one of a hundred different ways
the body of the work fills itself slowly
making the most of the page
margin to margin header to footer
on this, my A4 stage
and then at this point right here now
that bloody subtitle prompt
cannot proceed until i bleed another line
for them for me for the comp
selling another ticket for the same show
gotta work real hard to make a single line
gotta jerk it, gotta twerk it
gotta smurf it till it shines
finally when you think it's all in place
and it still looks a little pale and hollow
do you think about the line that you have now
or the one, you could have had tomorrow?
