Cry Tomorrow by Steph Anne Best
I was born with a mic stand above me
Mama said make it work and they'll love me
All future sorrows borrow from the past and
Can't find a guy who's built to last
Oh, you love me when I'm up there
In the terror and the despair
And, oh, you cling so to your torch song
I'm only the singer; I will never belong
(to anyone)
Like Lillian... I will cry tomorrow
Like Lillian... I will cry
Like Lillian... I will bust and borrow
Like Lillian... I won't cry
(for anyone)
I was born on a stage in the South Seas
Daddy said make it work or they'll drown me
All future sorrows barter with the past and
Can't make a love that's built to stay put
Oh... you need me when I'm up there
In the terror you find everywhere
And, oh, I ought to know your torch song
For I am the singer; I will never belong
(to anyone)
Like Lillian... I will cry tomorrow
Like Lillian... I will cry
Like Lillian... I will bust and borrow
Like Lillian... I won't cry
(for anyone)

Frozen Fireflies by David Roos
So I decided to walk
up from the subway, across 114th street
back down, along the river
almost everything was covered in snow
As I walked, every step made a print where no one had walked before
cause almost everything was covered in snow
by the time I got to Chelsea
the flashing yellow lights had all stopped flashing
constant yellow, like frozen fireflies
hovering along the river in the night
frozen fireflies, frozen fireflies
So I decided to just keep walking
across the river, cause it was frozen, and this was possible
now on any typical, ordinary day, I'd never find myself
walking on the river
never find myself in fuckin Jersey
but I decided to make the most of it
I started to ask the people of New Jersey how they like to spend their day
what kind of crops they grow
what kind of goods they favor for barter and exchange
I tried to ask what kind of dreams are held in the heart of New Jersey
What kind of song strives to spring from the seeds of the soul of the Garden State?
Frozen fireflies, frozen fireflies
So I found myself walking
back to the subway, along 114th street
by the time I got there
the flashing yellow lights had all started flashing again.
Je ne comprends pas, je suis americain
walking across the river
From New Jersey to New Amsterdam
Across a frozen river, back to the subway
Je ne comprends pas, moi, je suis hollandaise

Why Not Wednesday? by Steph Anne Best
I say... tell me why not Wednesday?
Then, I'll be happy;
I will tell myself necessary lies.
I'm just trying to get the goods out
'til I write my way across your London skies.
Wednesday comes before and follows everything.
Why can't I catch up with time again?
And, oh, I've swallowed as I falter...
Why can't I find a way to speak
on the right side of the week?
I say... tell me lately, Thursday.
By then, I'll be runnin',
I will paint myself a dark, delicious sky.
I'm just trying to breathe the hurt out
'til I meet the smile that's written 'cross my eyes.
Wednesday comes before and follows everything.
Why can't I catch up with time again?
And, oh, I've swallowed as I falter...
Why can't I find a way to speak
on the right side of the week?
Wednesday, like a picture,
fallen from its frame.
Wednesday is a diamond
with a cheap, forgotten name.
Wednesday, Wednesday... is stronger than they say.
Wednesday comes before and follows everything.
Why can't I catch up with time again?
Why can't I catch up with time again?
Why can't I find a way to speak
on the right side of the week?
I say...
tell me why not Wednesday?
