Carol Merrill from DEAR LIFE by Bill Mallonee

film flies by 24 to a second
sound is down
slo-mo kiss beckons
the world it spins with a madman's grin
I've been too long too wrong too much outta touch baby with you

and her skin was satin
but I've never been more aware
of that wound as the fabric tears

bus stop blues and exhausting views
the wages and the cost
whatcha gained stacked against what you lost
there's the door where your treasure
money's so demanding behind the door where Carol Merrill is standing

and her skin it was satin
but I've never been more aware
of that wound as the fabric tears

so what's the sound of your dreams crashing
through the tinted windshield guardrails all collapsing
she was vacant but smiling as she showed off the prize
what did Carol Merrill say when the camera died

and her skin it was satin
but I've never been more aware
of that wound as the fabric tears
and her skin it was satin
but I've never been more aware
of that wound as the fabric tears
