Pablito Uri - Tennessee Williams Lyrics

Tennessee Williams was a complicated man
Who spun this stupid country into symbolism-land
He was sad
He was alone
He turned his tragic family to stories we all know

You think you're Laura
You're really Tom
You say you're Stanley
You're Blanche DuBois
You're screaming "Stella, Stella, let me home!
Stella, Stella, let me home!"

Tennessee Williams drank the drink and popped the pills
He danced with barbiturates and younger men for thrills
He took risks
That were known
All the while worried he'd end up a withered Rose

Tried to be Brick
But gentlemen call
Can't be Amanda
With Dad on the wall
You're screaming "Stella, Stella, let me home!
Stella, Stella, let me home!"

Tennessee Williams is buried in his grave
In St. Louis in a cemetery where his mother lays
Maybe still sad
But not alone
He wished to be buried at sea like a sweetly sunken boat

You must be Maggie
To think you're in control
And you can't trust Gooper
Not to put you in the hole
Screaming "Stella, Stella, let me home
Stella, Stella, let me home"

The kindness of strangers
The kindness of strangers won't let you down
It's more likely the kindness of those you know
Will run out
I said
The kindness of strangers
The kindness of strangers won't let you down
It's more likely the kindness of those you know
Will run out

Don't act like Laura
When you're really Tom
It's hard to smile, Mitch,
When you're worried for your Mom
You're screaming Stella, Stella, let me home!
Stella, Stella, let me home!"

The kindness of strangers
The kindness of strangers won't let you down
It's more likely the kindness of those you know
Will run out
The kindness of strangers
The kindness of strangers won't let you down
It's more likely the kindness of those you know
Will run out
The kindness of strangers
The kindness of strangers won't let you down
It's more likely the kindness of those you know
Will run out
