Mexican Soap Star

Why don’t you cry a little more?

Why don’t you slam another door?

You’re a parody of who you are,

Like a Mexican soap star

Loud crashing sounds,

Always thrashing around

Trying to seem bigger then you are

Just like a Mexican soap star

(solo)

What goes on in your head?

To make you say the things you’ve said

But you only take it so far,

Just like a Mexican soap star

(solo out)

(*A musical ode to the mood swing. Unpredictable fury is a cornerstone of Mexican melodrama. This song is about a girl I knew who had frequent mood swings, it made it difficult to find her attractive.*)
