"White House'A Poem by Michael StevensCream, and not Cream!
Cream"'White Room'
In
the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof
country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran
down moonbeams in your dark eyes Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment
I'll
wait in this place where the sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You
said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket,
restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time
at the station As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I'll
wait in the queue when the trains come back Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At
the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the
old wound now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her
dark eyes She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll
sleep in this place with the lonely crowd Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves Songwriters: Jack Bruce / Pete Brown
NOT Cream--'White House'
In
the White House, such crude ego, brain castration Black heart
hero of the far right, he's their darling Monstrous destroyer
runs down your a*s, and your pipe dreams Darkness smiles, never leaving, discontentment
I'll
live in this place, where the sun never shines, Live in this place where up is now down, this is Hell
You
said no Dems can defeat you, you are God-like won election,
divide nation, goodbye Uncle We walked into, such a nightmare,
in dream's clothing As I was watching, that November, disbelieving
I
wait in the dark, Mack truck ran us down Lies' what you do, cling to sanity by ourselves
As
a party, so complicit, are the Repubs Consolation for this new
wound, not forgotten Junior high school, now in power, can't
believe it Just a symptom, of our lost ways, think he's normal
I
wait in the dark, Mack truck ran us down Lies'
what you do, cling to sanity by ourselves
