She's Not What She Seems
Written February 1990
Appears on Solo


She's a moving picture gliding through the silver screen
I see her, but I can't quite touch her as she moves
    from scene to scene.

Her two-dimensional glow overloads all my senses
And the critics pan her in confidence and self-defense.

But if they tried to see what I have seen
Then only looking back would reveal it's only a movie...
She's not what she seems.

She's a yellow light ever showing caution signs
Shining brightly at night, should I run or be left behind.

We're standing at life's intersection hoping that I see her change
Would I stop to think, or start again... another friend.
But if I tried to see just what she means
When she looks out on the world as some sort of movie...
She's not what she seems.

And if I tried to see her as a stream on a mountain side
Would she be so clear I could see through her
   or would she play on the rocks she hides?

And if I tried to touch her, she'd send a chill right up my spine
And if I were to fall, would she hold me up or let me slide
   into her demise...

She's not what she seems.
