Sunken-Eyed Girl

Sunken-eyed girl in the sandwich shop
Ladle my soup from the kettle pot, so
Swoony my self with the smolder looks
Parsing that gaze for the right intention

Sunken-eyed girl don’t let me go
You’re the whole world and you barely know, so

You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking and
Fall down stumble
All of the things I think and keep thinking and
Wake up tremble

All these tears are bound to fall

Sunken-eyed girl on the Ludlow Street
Junkieland once but they swept it up, so
Sing in my mind, singing you’re so sweet
I need a bundle of dope just to numb it out

‘Cause I’m feeling so good that it hurts my skin
Feeling so good I could do myself in

You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking and
Wake up tremble
All of the blinks I blink and keep blinking and
Fall down stumble, oh’
These tears are bound to fall

I’m
No prize for you
No trophy to
Keep walking through
And I’m
Not worth a dime
I’ll drag you down
Don’t waste your time

Sunken-eyed girl on Delancey Street
Bulletproof glass in the KFC to
Keep the man safe in his paper hat
Keep the wrong hands off the biscuit fortune

Sunken-eyed girl don’t let me go
You’re the whole world and you barely know, so

So I’m…
No prize for you
No trophy to
Keep walking through
And I’m
Not worth a dime
I’ll drag you down
Don’t waste your time
