put on something pretty.

Put on something pretty
Berettes in your hair
Don’t bother asking papa
He was never there
But go and ask your mother
Where you might find
The place where insanity
Pushed its loins into your mind
Some call it genius
And others call it mad
Yours is the face left smileless
So you think of it as sad
Put on something pretty
Polish on your toes
There will be moments today
Where it will seem that no one knows
You must think your thoughts twice
You can’t take pride in your mind
But you must go on living
Life is so unkind.
