Photograph

Little shogun, what a mess
Wearing black slacks and maroon rayon vest
Trying not to be provincial, trying to be direct
"Hey, can you leave the screen door cracked?
And no, you don't even have to ask
To take my photograph"
To take my photograph

Statement haircut, five feet tall
Back to Deerfield in the fall, and I can still see you
Drinking something questionable outside that pizza shop
Trying to make the townies laugh
And hustling a ride to Western Mass
Just like a photograph
Just like a photograph

You can take my photograph
