By the morning I will be gone I'll rip the plastic flamingo Out of the astro-turf lawn The dancer swept the white powder Onto the floor Slid off her bed and went straight though the door There was a tap and a click Of her heels on the pavement And a shadow watching her go She was livid and red Like the blood in the sink With a shock, she thought Oh God, what would my mother think The tap and the click of her heels ringing loudly And a shadow watching her go She said By the morning I will be gone I'll rip the plastic flamingo Out of the astro-turf lawn So the dancer packed her suitcase Full of her things Picket signs, blue paint, hard candy rings Resolute, she left her dog on the porch And the shadow tasted her torch So give it a try She whispered from the back of that Greyhound The brakes failed She made promises on the way down Oh! Nothing's promised But the white powder still stained her shoes With a tap and a click The shadow's got nothing to lose By the morning I will be gone I'll rip the plastic flamingo Out of the astro-turf lawn So dancer, tell me how does it feel From the front Does the wind blow your hair Until the show's done Would you rather be back in that room full of blue Where nobody really knows you She said I don't know the next turn or the one after that But I know it's time I wiped off this lipstick And faced up to the facts By the morning I will be gone I'll rip the plastic flamingo Out of the astro-turf lawn
