Sunken-Eyed Girl - Mike Doughty

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

Lay down 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 and 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

I’m

No prize for you

No trophy too

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
