Cellophane (For Alicia Keyes)...

I saw her on YouTube,

she was looking like a sweet

refrain, wrapped in cellophane

on a freight train, going down the aisles

making musical change for the passengers,

"Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching."

AND she could sing!

And play piano too!

And I was a parched man,

in the desert sand, looking for a band

and she was a full waterbottle

of cranberry/apple...

("...three conductors and 24 sacks of mail...")
