The girl from Brazil
Now in the mind's eye
The girl from Brazil
I told a white lie
I read to her
In The White Giant's Thigh
Could I turn back the page?
It's not black and white.
Now take it as read
She is statuesque
A red blooded heart
Can only attest
Under the quenched sun
We acquiessed
No man or woman
Ever should be oppressed
A dual equation
There's no more I can do
I symbolically changed
What was one into two
Now the heart beats itself
Until I'm black and blue
