Shopping For Girls

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Between the dead ring ash of extreme defenseThe lonely groups of company boysSnapping pictures of scrawny limbs and toothy grinsThese are children riding naked on their tourist palsWhile the hollows that pass for eyes swell from withdrawalAnd he lies on a mattress in a rat infested roomTalking 'bout his family and the cold back homeCHORUSBetween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstableNoone over here reads the papers pal'Tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstableHe's a clean trick and he's shopping for girlsA small black someone jumps over the crazy white guardCranking up the volume of a Michael Jackson songCHORUSWhere the frangipani scents the airShe mouths a word that breaks his stareHe grunts his reply in a garrulous croak"That's a mighty big word for a nine year old"CHORUSShopping for girls, shopping for girlsYou gaze down into her eyes for a million milesYou wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll
