Sunkeneyed Girl Songtext
von 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
