Singing on the couch quite quietly
I never knew I’d disappear from my family
I cannot untie the knot
They got rid of my favorite ride at the park
This old world is gonna change
I sing in the Tucson living room dreaming my diasporic dreams
Neither here nor there I cry
Tearless, I think thoughtless
If I had a son in Tucson, he’d hate me
Forevermore
Tearless, thoughtless, a despairing child
I couldn’t place him anywhere
Except for the cool bench on the subway
Where he sleeps now
I let my resilience get to my head somehow
He lost it anyhow
Why do I have to deal with this right now
I search from the river to the sea
Can only find it in my diasporic dreams
In the Tucson living room
Linda sings
she had it better than me
She thought it through unlike me
I didn’t think it through I can’t believe I did that to you
Where’s the golden wooden furniture?
In my Tucson living room is a tearless, thoughtless picture
A tearless thoughtless picture
The color of pomegranates is in the fire
Where there were no bad movies on the TV
Only vhs tapes I could watch continuously
I remember them all but this old world keeps
Changing the course of its stream
It all leads back to the living room in Tucson
While this old world’s changing
Tearless thoughtless
