So much for apathy    and scraping up your knees.    The midwest is a tease,    and missing out is universal.       'E' stands for everything,    and 'bloody' means the same    no matter where you live    or who you call when bad news sticks to you.       Is it easy to believe    that distance and disease    separate the six degrees?       And the day will come   when you make someone    make someone want to stay.       Dress down the calendar,    the fashion in decline.    Pacific Standard Time is slow,    so ask yourself: Am I a 'Lucky Star'    or am I 'Like a Prayer'    or do I even dare    to peel away the off-white face again?       You can see it on the screen,    a guest in the machine    never saying what you mean.       And the day will come when   you make someone    make someone want to stay.      Stay...   Wanna stay...
