From the recording New Day
You can't really understand this song without reading Sylvia Plath's masterpiece poem "Spinster", my main source of inspiration for this one.

Lyrics
What's the game to play?
Miss Drake, waiting for her man.
She is screaming, she is crying, she is hoping,
thinking: "Why can't I be free?".
What's the dream to lose?
Miss Drake, waiting for sunrise.
She is screaming, she is crying, she is hoping,
thinking: "Why am I still alone?".
What's the truth to hide?
Miss Drake, waiting for midnight.
She is lying, she is crying, she is hoping,
thinking: "Why can't I touch the sky?"
What's the train to catch?
Miss Drake, waiting for her friend.
She is lying, she is crying, she is hoping,
thinking: "Oh, I am still alone".
"What a nice surprise.
Nests of birds and butterflies.
Spinning like my head
in a morning paradise."
What's the dice to shoot?
Miss, still waiting for the truth.
She is playing, she is smiling, she is hoping,
thinking: "Oh I am so alone".
