MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE
"West Virginia"
(Margaret Roche)

Nineteen
Charleston
Mescaline
He said he was a genius
B plus average
In civil engineering
His rearing
Was Catholic
Political leanings
And a talent for stealing things

Boys keep score on the back of the bathroom door
And I don't think he'd ever been there before

Thirty
They got the rap down
Him
He's only pickin around
In polititics
God
And underground newspapers

Learnin' on me
Turnin' out lights
So you don't have to see
