Mike Doughty | Lyrics | 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
Parsin' 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 drinkin' 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
Junkie land once but they swept it up, so
Sing in my mind, singin' you're so sweet
I need a bundle of dope just to numb it out 'cause I'm

Feelin' so good that it hurts my skin
Feelin' so good I could do myself in

You are the drinks, I drink and keep drinkin' and
Lay down tremble
All of the blinks, I blink and keep blinkin' and
Fall down stumble
All, these tears are bound to fall

I'm
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' 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
So 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

I'm
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' through
And I'm
Not worth a dime
I'll drag you down
Don't waste your time

And I'm
No prize for you
No trophy too
Keep walkin' through
And I'm
Not worth a dime
I'll drag you down
Don't waste your time

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