Stumbleine

"boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth"
	-man standing in bathroom over the sink, wearing all black, with his
mouth open, he looks up into the camara, and there is blood dripping out
of his mouth

"sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny"
	-camara pans around an examining room (shot is in negative)

"and nobody nowhere understands anything about me/ and all my dreams/
lost at sea"
	-slow motion, black and white, girl doing poses in 40's style bathing
suit, she runs into the ocean, swims out, then starts to drown

"jack it up judy set your heart alight/mayfair mistress of the
satellites"
	-hooker standing on corner, wrapped around a pole, she rolls her head
up, towards the sky, then pan of night sky

"misspent youth- faking up a rampage/to hold off the real slaves/paid
off an staid"
	-group of high school girls, all dressed in trendy clothes, standing in
a cirle, one girl, who isn't dressed as nice, sits in a corner listening
to a discman, she is dancing, and happy, back to the circle of girls,
all of them are crying and unhappy

"and whay you never knew/can never get to you/so fake it/I'll be your
stumbleine/I'll be your superqueen/and make you"
	-pale girl, with dark hair, wearing bright red lipstick, lip syncs with
the song, into the camara

"jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore/no matter what you say he'll
be back for more"
	-Billy stands outside of store, manager comes out waving a gun at him,
he walks away, as soon as the manager goes back inside, he walks back in
front of the store, leans up against the wall

"mommy's in the manger with the little kids/she's got her reasons, got
my forgets/of tears and idle threats/misplaced"
	-D'arcy sits in a pile of hay in a barn, James has his head in her lap,
he's crying, she runs his hand through his hair, it gets caught, he
screams and yells at her

"and no matter what they do/they can't get to you/so fake it"
	-group of girls break away from their circle, they walk over to the
girl in the corner and start yelling at her, she just goes on listening
to her discman, oblivious to their existance

"I'll be your stumbleine/I'll be your superqueen/and make you me"
	-the pale girl with the dark hair, now wearing a crown, still singing,
becomes billy, wearing a crown, and singing

"come around ruby I could never sleep alone"
	-the close up of billy becomes a wide shot of billy standing on the
sidewalk of a busy street, the hooker walks up beside him, she grabs his
arm, and they walk off together
