The first time a toilet was seen on television

was in an episode of Leave It to Beaver

There was controversy over showing

the whole thing, bowl and all,

so they delayed the episode

and reshot the scene to show only the tank.

Here,

that kind of suburbia

seems very far away

In a hotel three hours from home

I sit on the bathroom floor

in the only light

While he sleeps off the police station

and she tries to sleep off the marriage

in the total dark

Here,

that kind of suburbia

seems like the greatest lie ever told

Here,

I can see the seat

and everything
