downloading doves on your fancy computer
youre shooting for love in the dark
hey jude youve found her now go instant message
her name is a pretty good start
ultima sits in her bedroom in texas and
waits for her hamsters to touch
she lost her legs in a car crash three years ago
she doesnt get around much
but she is hoping someday
somebody will take her away
now that you got her a dress you can send her
a matching attachment and face
slick rhododendrons you make out of paper
with flowers that never lose shape
you have a video camera strapped to
your forehead in case she is true
smiling rewind as we die in slow motion
(as if its not happening to you)
don't blow it all at one time:
some girls are harder to find
don't be afraid of the dark ages darling,
the stage has been set and your carriage is waiting
to take you away from this place
where youll meet your bride face to face
knowing her name is enough: ultima...
fox trotting globe trotters under your fingertips
tapping for oil in vain
surely you wont think to hold it against her
she can't help that thats where she came
from
someone is hoping to find
her limbs in an auction online
knowing her name is enough:
ultima esperanza
