The Little Red-Haired Girl - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

Chicago wind almost knocked me over

Hurricane Andy’s got me running for cover

And I forgot if there was any other

People in the world, besides me and you

I’m breaking through a brick wall

That’s been standing for hours

I hide my head from the scattered showers

The hurricane is gonna knock down towers tonight

Perhaps you’re wondering if I’m available

Well don’t worry about it, baby, I’m available

I’m available

I’m so available

Little red-haired girl

Don’t pass right by my table

I am so unable

To conceal my lust

Red-haired girl

You hold the keys to my unbridled fury

I’m walking home although the snow’s in flurries

And none of that could ever make me hurry as I pass your house

Green with white shutters

Storm clouds gather in my tearducts

It’s gettin' cold so I wear my earmuffs

All the emotions are making me fear a coup d’etat

On my central nervous system

Perhaps you’re unnerved by my honesty

Well don’t worry about it, baby, I don’t need honesty

Who needs honesty?

Forget about honesty

I hate honesty

Little red-haired girl

Don’t pass me on the sidewalk

Cause everytime our eyes lock

I can’t feel the freezing rain

Oh little red-haired girl

Ah, baby, aw, alright, alright, I’m, I’mma just, just wait

Little red-haired girl

Good grief

Ah yes

It’s, it’s just our first record

I want you to fall in love with me

I want you put your little white hand over my pretty red mouth

After the flood there was a big block party

The streets were rivers like that town in Italy

I wore my khakis so you wouldn’t call me ugly

The hail was hammering my eyes, I couldn’t see

And every few nights I would dream about you

And it makes me wanna sing this song to you

But you don’t like this song

I don’t have to sing this song

I’ll never sing this song again

Little red-haired girl

Don’t pass right by my table

I am so unable

To conceal my love

Little red-haired girl

Don’t pass me on the sidewalk

Cause everytime our eyes lock

I can hear that hurricane

Red-haired girl

Oh, baby, baby

I wanna take a walk with you

On the sand
