I'm Not Lucinda

I've been listening to WEST, Lucinda's new CD. Great stuff!

Dream voice asked "Do you want to BE Lucinda Williams?"
I answered "I can't be Lucinda. I'm Buddha's Little Flower."
But I can download her,
Her voice, her songs, the words, the band.

I can't be Lucinda. (I'm Buddha's Little Flower.)
But she is my age, just a little older, a few days.
Just a little better, a song or two,
A word here or there.

I can't be Lucinda. I'm not anything like her.
I don't travel around on a bus/metal firecracker.
I don't have tattoos on my body,
She's the High Priestess Painted Lady, I'm Buddha's Little Flower.

True story about the dream.
I don't want what I can't have.

I'm not Lucinda.
