Poor Boy
A truck parked this morning- outside the grocery store Friends face the future- they're wearing summer clothes Great cosmic forces- like falling dominoes I love talking funny- it's the only song I know Sweet smart and sexy- the day my life began Burnt out and damaged- I dragged my body home This slice is runny- it's dripping down my clothes Flies stick to honey- it's the only game they know Poor Boy-I walk into the river in my hat and shoes Poor Boy-I'm sittin at the table with a knife and spoon Life fast die happy- don't let your panties show They trust market forces- it's the only song they know So come and rock my soul- where sin and sorry lie White horses carry me- unto the other side Poor Boy- I'm livin in a country where my thoughts are cold Poor Boy- I'm waitin for the harvest of the seeds I sow A flower in the night- with thoughts of days gone by I've got to ring that bell- and I'll be satisfied Songtexte Poor Boy- I'm wearin silver slippers and a long white gown Poor boy- I picture in my mind the day the walls come down Poor Boy- I'm livin in a country where I'm never free Poor Boy- I'm writing down the names of all the things I see- Aus Songtexte Mania
