Alley Flowers |
Some people say you got a psychadelic presense |
Shinin in the park with a bioluminescense |
Down these city streets I see you comin' |
From afar and I know |
In this world ain’t nobody’s |
Got the shine like you |
Got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine |
In this world |
Nobody sings like Mary Sue Bell |
Nobody prays like Willie MacTell |
Nobody walks a mile in my stolen shoes like I do |
In this world ain’t nobody’s |
Got the shine like you |
Got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine |
In this world |
I still miss my lonesome lover |
And I cain’t find no single other |
To take his empty place in my heart of hearts |
I told him |
In this world ain’t nobody’s |
Got the shine like you |
Got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine |
In this world |
The ghost of Shakespeare’s on the street |
Corderoy hat layin at his feet |
Howlin in the harp these dirty city blues fallin hard |
In this world ain’t nobody’s |
Got the shine like you |
Got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine |
In this world |
Zora Neale Hurston told her story |
And they kicked her out of new york city |
Just like jesus christ in gallilee like I said |
In this world ain’t nobody’s |
Got the shine like you |
Got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine |
In this world |
Some people say I got a psychadelic presense |
Shinin' in the park with a bioluminescense |
Down these city streets I see you comin' |
From afar, and I know |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine in this world |
Ain’t nobody’s got the shine |
Like you got to shine in this world. |
