A truck parked this morning
Outside the grocery store
Friends face the future
They're wearin' summer clothes
Great cosmic forces, like fallin' 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
And 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
Live 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 on to the other side
Poor boy - I'm living in a country where my thoughts are cold
Poor boy - I'm waiting for the harvest of the seeds I sow
A flower in the night with thoughts of days gone
I've got to ring that bell and I'll be satisfied
Poor boy - I'm wearing silver slippers and a long white gown
Poor boy - I picture in my mind the day the walls come down
Poor Boy - I'm living in a country where I'm never free
Poor Boy - I'm writing down the names of all the things I see
