in this museumshadows cover corners while the dustis just a cover over all of these displaysand the wagon wheel with just a broken spoke?no, it doesn't want to go to wasteand it says "i've been all across this countryi dug my rut into the plainssafely got my family to their destinationand i only want to do it all againoh i just want to be rolledi just want to be rolledthat's why i'm the shape i am, i wasn't made for looking ati just want to be rolled."the banjo hangs against the wallit's covered by a plate glass cageit's just a relic from a hundred fifty years agowhen someone turned a porch into a stageand it says "i've been played by expert fingersplucked and picked in every single wayjoined by voices, mingling with singersand i only wanna feel like that againoh i just want to be touchedi just want to be touchedLetras de cancionesthat's what these strings are for, i wan't made for looking ati just want to be touched."the guard is sitting in his chairhe knows this whole place by heartand he'll tell you everything you want to knowand everything you don't, once you get him startedand he says "welcome to my home away from homei've been working here since i was 21but no one ever steals a thing, i'm waiting for a reasonto open up those doors and runoh i just want to be freei just want to be freeand if you let me follow you, i promise i'll do anythingi just want to be free."and the quilt is folded upits colors faded from all the beds it laid onbut all the stuffing is intact, this thread is strong enoughto keep the insides in for many yearsand it says "i've been held by tiny armsdragged around by tiny handssqueezed and cried on, slept with and confided inand i only wanna mean that much againoh i just want to be lovedi just want to be lovedso let me cover you, i'm not a decorationi just want to be loved."the camera sitting on the shelf is blinded by the cover on its lensthere's only three exposures left before it needs another rolloh, to shoot again!and it says "i've seen mountains, i've seen canyonsweddings, birthdays, sunset, and sunrisei've seen an old man weep and i've seen a baby smilebut i'm helpless without a human eyeoh i just want to be knowi just want to be knownso touch my buttons and i'll tell you all my secretsi just want to be known."
