lyrics

Four eyed girl looking both ways on the corner of a four way street.
The swirl to her eyes made me fantasize of a passion so discreet .
I spun around on sturdy ground and asked if she had the time.
‘I would if I could’, she laughed, ‘but I got not a watch or dime’.
‘That’s too bad’, I said, ‘say how do you get around’?
‘I’m uptown, goin downtown, got no ride going homeward bound’.

Her voice was cocked, knotted to snap and trap my innocent ears
My clumsy walk and bumbling talk gave away a feast of fears

She said it softly, quite sincerely ‘Hey do you got a car?’.
I felt disease when she said please I didn’t think we’d gone that far.
Got my ride and let her inside while she strapped in for the kill.
Engine growled, gave a howl and rumbled on down the hill.
Stopped for gas with mind on task as I stepped into the store.
Heard an engine hum and the shot of a gun as she drove off with a roar.

Love in transit, railway bandit, renegade on a rocket,
Played the part when she stole my heart and tried to make a profit.
