Two Little Girls |
You were fresh off the boat from Virginia, |
I had a year in New York City under my belt, |
We met in a dream when we were both 19 |
I remember where we were standing |
I remember how it felt |
Two little girls growing out of their training bras, |
This little girl breaks furniture, this little girl breaks laws |
Two girls together |
Just a little less alone |
This little girl cried «wee wee wee» all the way home. |
(Home) |
We were always half crazy, now look at you, baby |
You make about as much sense as a nursery rhyme, |
And love is a piano dropped from a four story window |
And you were in the wrong place at the wrong time |
And I don’t like your girlfriend, yeah, I blame her |
Never seen one of your lovers do you so much harm |
And I loved you first and you know I would prefer |
If she didn’t empty her syringes into your arm |
(Arm) |
Now here comes little naked me padding up to the bathroom door |
To find little naked you slumped on the bathroom floor |
So I guess I’ll just stand here with my back against the wall, |
While you distill your whole life down to a 9−1-1 call |
So now you bring me your bruises |
So I can «oh» and «ah» at the display |
Maybe I’m supposed to make one of my famous jokes that makes everything okay |
Or maybe I’m supposed to be the handsome prince who rides up and unties your |
hands, |
Or maybe I’m supposed to be the furrow-browed friend who thinks she understands |
Now here comes little naked me padding up to the bathroom door |
To find little naked you slumped on the bathroom floor |
So I guess I’ll just stand here with my back against the wall |
While you distill your whole life down to a 9−1-1 call |
