Sunkeneyed Girl - Mike Doughty

sunkeneyed girl in the sandwich shop

ladle my soup from the kettle pot so

swooning my self with the smolder looks

parsing that gaze for the right intentions

sunkeneyed girl don’t let me go

you’re the 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 lie down tremble

all these fears are bound to fall

sunkeneyed girl on the ludlow street

junkieland once but they swept it up so

singing 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 lay down tremble

all of the blinks i blink and keep blinking and fall down stumble

all these fears and bound to fall

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

sunkeneyed girl on delancey st

bulletproof glass in the KFC

so keep the man safe in his paper hat

keep the wrong hands off the biscuit fortune

sunkeneyed girl don’t let me go

you’re the world and you barely know so

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
