Pollyanna

I drank some coffee while I waited at the station She's brought back souvenirs from every vacation Said don't look now, doll your neurosis' are showing I tried to compliment her nose but she could tell that mine was growing Pollyanna does not live here Pollyanna does not live here Thought about the way things change and how she used to be Guess I wanted that girl again, guess it wasn't meant to be She had a warmth about her that could not melt an ice cube If I could go back in time I'd bring you back a Quaalude Pollyanna does not live here Pollyanna does not live here Pollyanna has moved far, far away Pollyanna has moved far, far away The bed got sticky, the floor got sticky The kitchen table went crashing down I was sticky and she was sticky Too bad she could not stick around And everything sticks to her like glue But I'm just something she's got stuck to the bottom of her shoe And when she's through with me I guess I'll follow through And wait for something new to stick to Pollyanna does not live here Pollyanna does not live here Pollyanna has moved far, far away Pollyanna has moved far, far away --- Pollyanna - Patterson Hood
