From <strong>Desolation</strong> <strong>Row</strong><br />
From America<br />
Cinderella, she seems so easy<br />
“It takes one to know one,” she smiles<br />
And puts her hands in her back pockets<br />
Bette Davis style<br />
And in comes Romeo, he’s moaning<br />
“You Belong to Me I Believe”<br />
And someone says, “You’re in the wrong place my friend<br />
You better leave”<br />
And the only sound that’s left<br />
After the ambulances go<br />
Is Cinderella sweeping up<br />
On <strong>Desolation</strong> <strong>Row</strong><br />
Cinderella,<br />
The word "Cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes were<br />
unrecognized, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a<br />
period of obscurity and neglect. Is this about Fidel Castro?<br />
She seems so easy<br />
(sarcastic) Their success is likely to happen by accident or without intention<br />
“It takes one to know one,” she smiles<br />
Fidel cons America into believing he is a revolutionary like George Washington<br />
and not a dirty low down communist<br />
And puts her hands in her back pockets<br />
Then puts her hands in someone who is part of a group or crew: the ship's hands<br />
in a small pocket of political thought<br />
Bette Davis style<br />
