Of Lost Highways and Character Actors
===========================


How about we burn this place down,
in our deepest hearts we are haunted
by the life of Robert Loggia.

Wanting a career in Journalism;
with all these documentaries between us
how could we not abandon them
for the stage we're on, filming scenes
with multiple takes, always arguing
the same points, until some director
yells cut, and the lights go dim.

And did we not get our start, the Nine
Lives of Elfego Baca, on the small screen
"and yet that flurry would propell us
throughout our long career?"

Oh, when Robert Loggia lost his toupee
there was no more leading man,
and it all became so menacing, then;
so tough as to be thought of
as one of the perfect villians;
like Dennis Hopper, or DeNiro;
but he never was remembered
for any of those parts.

Yes, we are haunted by the life
of Robert Loggia; but shall we end it here
buisinessmen dancing on giant keyboards
in that movie about childhood?

Then someday all that menace
we can smile about, I'd hope, despite
ourselves, on an orange juice commercial
threatening some child with the danger
of growing up with brittle bones.

Oh, yeah, we're haunted by the life
of Robert Loggia, aren't we?
