listen girl

listen girl i might

if you ask me very nice

i just might tell you the truth

because you give me love and i like it

and charming as you might be

listen girl you like it to

all of the corner kids

they're looking for joy

dreaming of playgrounds and toys

well they're dreaming no more

'cause they've been there before

and now they just sit and absorb

like when i couldn't get out of bed

oh i could hardly walk

but i come here to muse

i come here to talk

to say listen girl. and the fluids

that hold me in my mind

a candle in the way

to falling back in time

and beer

the wilful little tout

that brightens up my nights

but hoodoo when i'm awake
