lyrics

happy sad masks
(lyrics ellen mizell (©2001)


a female saint, hands decorously folded
contemplates her lowly position
at the bottom, her robe crinkles
in art deco folds
a bird is diving at her halo
she symbolizes women thru the ages

happy sad masks, cd headphones
car is hot hot hot
an eggmatic series, of windows
reveal stylized souls

a hep and cool talking head makes urbane comments
everyone was impressed by what he had to say
until they realized the top of his head was missing
a five cent stamp from a foreign country
looks beautiful, but the flower is a spy

happy sad masks, music soundtrack
opera loves songs pop
cd headphones, eggmatic windows
reveal stylized souls

happy sad masks, cool heads talking
flower spy device
windows spaceship, bird is diving, deco symbol eyes

on the next side the boston tea party
is immortalized on a canceled stamp
one window looks out over a still like
the next, which is half gone
a sad black blob
a child’s depiction of a tree, or a spaceship threatening the planet earth
a map of a demented interstate exchange leads no where
green dot hold down a mysterious seal
with the corners of missing windows

happy sad masks, music soundtrack, drama greek masks fly
love songs headphone foreign windows, five cent flower spy

around the corner a strange creature screams at an israeli stamp where birds fly straight
at greek drama masks a sad face that stares into front porch window greens
a colorful world for a stamp from siam, a happy sunflower barcode dreams

happy sad masks cd headphone
car is hot hot hot
opera love songs pop music soundtrack
eggmatic series soul
windows spaceship female saint hand bird is diving low
happy sad masks soundtrack headphones love song opera soul
