Text: Mike Doughty. Haughty Melodic. 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
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
