my true love drowned in a dirty old pan of oil
that had run from the block
of a falcon sedan, 1969
the paper said '75
there were no survivors
none found alive
trees break the sidewalk
and the sidewalk skins my knee
there's glass in my thermos and blood on my jeans
nickels and dimes of the 4th of july
rolling off in a crooked line to the chainlink lots
where the red-tails dive
oh, how I'd forgot what it's like
hey, when she sings
when she sings
when she sings like she runs
moves like she runs
hey, when she moves
when she moves
when she moves like she runs
moves like she runs
hey, there there's such tender wolves âround town tonight
'round the town tonight
hey, there there's such tender wolves âround town tonight
'round the town tonight
hey pretty baby, get high with me
we can go to my sister's if we say we'll watch the baby
the look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
and I would do anything to see you again
so I've fallen behind
hey, when she sings
when she sings
when she sings like she runs
moves like she runs
hey when she moves
when she moves
when she moves like she runs
moves like she runs
hey, there there's such tender wolves âround town tonight
'round the town tonight
hey, there there's such tender wolves âround town tonight
'round the town tonight
go on, go on
and scream and cry
you're miles from where anyone will find you
this is nothing new, no television crew
they don't even put on the siren
my nightgown sweeps the pavement
please don't let him die
oh, how I'd forgot...
