Taiwan Siren Song

the songs will be sung
lost material will be replaced
i will always love and be loved
but i cannot do it here

freedom will present itself in laughter
skills and knacks will find outlets
i will always do the best i can
but i cannot do it here

we will warm each other's bodies
help the children down the road
learn all there is to know
but i cannot do it here

life will be lived with love in mind
the innocent will be protected
no one's ass will be kissed
from here it starts, but not here 

no revenge or 'what might have been' 
when the kids are off the block
no more clocks ticking down
but it cannot happen here

From "Miss Brooklyn"
Taipei, November 25, 1989
