Standing like John Wayne
She is full frame

Ani DiFranco's, "Serpentine"
The Lyrics:
Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone
so I play and I sing and I just let it ring,
all day when I'm at home

...

did I mention somewhere in there
that I traded Babe Ruth,
yes I traded the only player
that was bigger than the game
and I can't even tell you why,
cause you'd think I'm insane.

...

so just give me my Judy Garland drugs and let me get back to work
cause the Empire State Building is the tallest
building in New York
and I have always got the feeling
you just like to hear it fall off your tongue
Who They Mention:
(Ivan) Pavlov - Russian physiologist/psychologist
Babe Ruth
Judy Garland
