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 |
| 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- |
