kathy is sunning herself in the rain
she's closing her eyes to the scene
she's folding up
her friends are an elegant mess
they're breeding
they'll do anything just to be seen at the ball
her boyfriend is writing a book

she leaves him asleep at the wheel and locks the door
she dances with someone she knew in high school
she loses herself in the music
she's spinning like a top
like a coin on edge

she loses herself in the night
in the dream she's the queen of the prom
but the dream is a dream and the dream is gone
